New members of the Japan forum, introduce yourselves here - 2025

Hi everyone,

I'm Robert, and I'm excited to be part of this community! I’m currently living in Japan and wanted to introduce myself. I’m originally from Spain, and I’ve always been fascinated by Japanese culture.

I moved here one year ago, and I’ve been adjusting to life in Japan ever since.

If you're planning to move here or are already living here, feel free to connect! I’m looking forward to exchanging stories, tips, and advice with other expats and locals.

Thanks for welcoming me!

Cheers!

Hi! I'm Catherine. I'll be in Japan for about 3 months - first in Fukuoka and then in Kanazawa. I live in Switzerland and am an English teacher. I lived in Japan 30 years ago, but this is my first time back. I'm very happy to be here again!

@CatShu

Hi Catherine! How wonderful to be back in Japan after 30 years. Fukuoka and Kanazawa are both lovely—any spots you're especially excited to see again or discover anew?

All the best

@Bhavna thanks for the welcome message!

I read that post before posting here, I have done some interview I hope some will go well.

I have only one thing on that post: there is a link on the ICT jobs that it's not anymore active: Mixess

You should delete that.

I will be in Kyoto for a month starting October 27 and would love to meet other expats. I am a screenwriter and p/t psychotherapist. Divorced after a long marriage a few years ago, I am departing the USA after 5 months on Martha's Vineyard and France before that.

Hello everyone,

I’m based in Hokkaido, Japan.

I’m involved in hospitality-oriented real estate, including small lodging properties and mixed-use assets in regional destinations.

My background includes hands-on operations, local regulations, and on-the-ground management, which gives me a practical perspective on hospitality and real estate outside major metropolitan areas.

I joined this forum to learn from others’ experiences and exchange insights.

Looking forward to connecting with you all.
