Best Cities for Expats

The usual “go-to” for foreigners looking for work abroad in Japan is often the biggest city in the country, Tokyo. While many foreigners assume that they are only able to teach English in Japan, with some Japanese language skills, foreigners can find work in education, business, recruiting, journalism, and entertainment.

Osaka is the one of the most famous culinary destinations in Japan. With cheap and delicious food options, people can find themselves stuffed in food heaven. Culinary connoisseurs can find a variety of jobs in Osaka at local restaurants, cafes, and bars for cooking classes and possible apprenticeships.

Okinawa may surprise some as a location for foreigners to work in Japan. The pristine jade-green waters of Okinawa attract tourists from all over Asia. Individuals looking to work in Japan can find job opportunities utilizing their customer relations skills in the tourism and hospitality industry.

Nara is a tranquil, countryside prefecture that was the former capital of Japan. This is the perfect place for a job-seekers wishing to be immersed in a quaint, historical area while working in Japan. The biggest industry in Nara is tourism, and accordingly, there is a need for foreigners to work in the hospitality industry.
