I have updated the resources section in this website and split them into two. The Immigration resources page will help you get in touch with your Japanese embassy or get information from Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Job resources page has details of organisations and websites that can help in your job search. And don’t forget the Recruiters page too!
