Working Holiday in Japan - Live Like a Local

Before your trip, our experienced team will answer all your questions and support you in planning your journey in Japan. You will be invited to an online session that will walk you through all necessary steps and answer any remaining questions. You'll also get a chance to connect with our local community!

• Pickup from the airport (Kobe Airport / Kansai Airport) via public transportation and accompany you to your shared house (accommodation booked through us only).
• We accompany you to the city hall to register you as a resident and apply for all required insurance + to a bank to open an account; assist you with signing a mobile phone contract. 
• If you receive official letters from Japanese authorities, we will inform you of what to do.

Our career consultant will assist you in creating your resume and application documents in both Japanese and English; teach you everything you need to know about working in Japan; and practice a mock Japanese job interview. If you have basic Japanese skills, we will arrange an appointment at the national job centre and accompany you there. The job centre has a high job placement success rate.  

We host weekly free conversation lessons and monthly language exchange events, allowing you to make new friends and communicate with Japanese people in our community! 

We’re a small, community-based team tucked away in a quiet corner of Japan—not a big organization, just people who genuinely love sharing our culture and helping others feel at home here.

Rental accommodation in Japan is usually unfurnished and often requires a significant upfront payment. That’s why we include the first month to give you time to settle in and explore your options. You can extend the accommodation if needed, and it can be paid monthly on-site. 

Of course, you’re also welcome to arrange your own housing independently if you prefer.
