Many people tell me that they want to move to Japan, which I completely understand because I personally love it here. I love the food, the culture and how safe it is, relatively speaking. Obviously not everything is perfect in Japan, it’s a small island with a lot people living close together especially in the cities, so there has to be some compromises. I think some foreigners moving here, don’t come here with that compromise mindset and are rudely surprised when things are not as they thought. I wanted to make this video and share issues that some foreigners complain about when living in Japan. So you have a little more information before you decide to move your entire life to Japan to later realize that Japan isn’t for you. Working in Japan and living in Japan takes a special person who can compromise and understand that life in Japan is not going be like life back at home. The people who can appreciate and understand the differences generally do well living in Japan.
