A Guide to Working Abroad in Japan

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.

Good time, poor management

December 14, 2023by: Luc Yassin - United Kingdom

Program: Become a Ski Instructor in Japan, with Training and Job

EA contracted everything out to ski instructors on the ground. These instructors (who also had their own businesses to manage) were unable to effectively manage a very variable situation on the ground (lack of snow etc). I believe this is due to a lack of support from EA. Training itself (which the instructors were actually trained in) was very effective and good fun. Accommodation was variable; some had good beds (with storage etc), others did not. A day for looking over equipment was promised but not provided. Overall I would say it was a good experience but could easily have been provided for far less.

The course is very much worth the money

Program: 120-Hour Accredited TEFL Certification with Live Support

I loved that the course was flexible and could be worked into my schedule when I had time. I didn’t have to commit to a certain day a week for student teaching or class observations. I could do the whole course at home in the evenings when my kids were in bed. I liked the logical sequence the class followed and that it didn’t just teach you English grammar, but taught you how to be a better teacher, which can be used for other teaching aspects than just TEFL. The course is very much worth the money for anyone who wants a certificate to teach English abroad.
