Living in Japan

This is the guide for living in Japan, such as: retiring, working, studying, traveling and doing business in Japan. It is intended for those readers who are seriously considering moving to Japan for a prolonged period, or perhaps for the rest of their lives. The contents focus less upon the sort of information usually found in the popular tourist guides (Japan hotels, restaurants, entertainment, religion etc) and more upon the practical realities of moving to and successfully living in the Land of Japan.
Japan is a wonderful place to live, but a move to the country is not without it attendant difficulties. The things below will aim to help you to achieve a smooth transition to a new life in the country.
