Have been considering a move to Japan for some time now since we first visited in 2018 we fell in love.
Have always been a fan of all things Japanese from video games, manga and the food. The people are super friendly and it definitely feels like somewhere I could live.
My family and I are originally from the UK and moved to Dubai about 3 years ago. Have 3 boys 14, 13 and 11 attending school here. Have my own business and work remotely. We feel it’s time for a change of scenery, Dubai has been good, made some great connections but feel our time here is up.
Have been looking to move to Tokyo and have looked at a number of International schools already. Fees are significantly cheaper than Dubai which I’m happy about. Has anyone moved with kids recently how have they found the transition?
Have been learning a bit of Japanese ahead of time so I can have basic interactions.
Visa shouldn’t be too difficult to acquire from what I saw and neither should getting the boys into a decent school.
Oh prior to the move I will be heading out there next month for about a month to get a feel of things and have a look at some areas of where we would like to stay and get a tour of a few of the schools prior to moving. Whilst I’m there is there anything I should be looking into in particular ahead of the move?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
