Tokyo is located on the main island of Honshu and has more than 13 million people living in the greater Tokyo area. It is the center of business, the seat of government, and the Emperor of Japan. Tokyo was ranked as the “Best overall experience” on TripAdvisor World City Survey. In Tokyo, you can find everything your heart desires.
I studied Japanese at university and wanted to use Japanese for my first job, so I was thrilled and excited when I found a job at a Japanese company in Germany. The best part was that I would be sent to Japan right away for one year to undergo training at the headquarters. That was in March 2015. Like most prominent companies, the headquarter of my...
This time was not my first move to Japan, so there wasn’t much to prepare mentally anymore, as I already knew what I was getting myself into. I also had the support of my company, which prepared my apartment and visa, so it was all effortless for me to make a move from Germany to Japan. I only had to pack my bags and hop on a flight. Upon arrival i...
a) Accommodation
Accommodation is the most expensive part of life in Tokyo. I live in a 40 square meter apartment with my boyfriend, and we pay 180.000 Yen per month. The apartment is conveniently located in the city center 1-minute walk from the closest station. This is what makes it so expensive. But even if you want to live in a 20 square meter one-room apartment with a walking distance of about 10 minutes to the station, you will pay roughly 80.000 Yen.
b) Food
Food can be cheap or expensive, depending on your preferences. It can be pretty expensive if you want to cook yourself and love cooking with fresh vegetables. If you are okay with eating convenience store Bento (a Japanese home-packed meal), a meal will cost you roughly 500 Yen. Many Japanese fast-food restaurants or small shops sell set meals at around 800 to 1000 Yen.
c) Transportation in Tokyo
Transportation to and from the company is covered in full by the company. It is a big plus. It doesn’t make sense to own a car in Tokyo if you aren’t super-wealthy, so most people use trains and the metro to get around. It is very convenient and also not too expensive. The price depends on the distance, but you pay roughly 200 Yen wherever you want to go within Tokyo.
As I mentioned above, this was not the first time I moved to Japan. I lived in Japan before as a student when I was 20 years old. I attended the Kansai Gaidai University in Osaka for ten months. Surprisingly, I didn’t have any difficulties moving to Japan both times. Of course, some paperwork is needed to be done, such as registration at the city o...
No matter how long you live in Japan, you will never be Japanese. Japanese people will never see you as Japanese. It is something a foreigner should know and understand before coming to Japan to avoid disappointment. It means the Japanese treat you differently. They will comment on how good your Japanese is or your skills with chopsticks and other ...
Tokyo is a city that has every comfort you could ever wish for. Not only is Japanese food delicious, but you will be able to find food from all over the world here, which will help with occasional homesickness and food cravings. As far as amusement goes, Tokyo has something to offer for everyone. There are Karaoke and bars, world-class cinemas, and...
There are multiple things that one can complain about. Due to the living cost, if you don’t have a well-paying job, you might not be able to afford a comfortable place in the city center and have to commute to work for an hour or more. The commute can be stressful because the trains are packed with people, especially in the morning before 9 a.m., w...
I would visit Shibuya to see the scramble crossing at night. The best place to see it is at Shibuya Starbucks across the street from the station. Some people prefer wandering Yoyogi Park and Harajuku areas. Otherwise, you can go window-shopping in Omotesando, where all the world-famous brands have their shops. A visit to Asakusa with its souvenir s...
I made friends with some of my colleagues, which was quite easy, and I imagine depending on where you work and how open you are, it should be possible for anyone to do that. Making friends with Japanese outside of work can be trickier. I suggest joining some activities to meet Japanese people like sports circles. If you are looking to meet foreigne...
