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!
For a while now, this website has contained a bit of information about living and working in Japan. I have now redesigned and updated it, so I hope it’s now easier to use and to find whatever you’re looking for.
My name is Bennett McElwee. I first visited Japan back in 1992, when I stayed for a couple of weeks with a friend in Tokyo. He had moved there from Australia to work. I loved Tokyo, partly because it was largely incomprehensible — and not just because of the language. After that, I always wanted to spend more time in this endlessly fascinating place.
