Received a Job Offer in Japan – Is It the Right Move?

Dear Japanese community,

I’ve recently received an offer from a company. I’m currently living in a developing country and would like to relocate to Japan. I truly need your opinions to help me make the best decision.

I’ve already visited Japan twice, but only as a tourist, so my knowledge is limited.

Here are my expectations:

• Living in a safe country for myself and my family.
• Living without fear of the future — financially and in terms of stable living standards. My current country is considered relatively safe, but things can change rapidly, especially economically.
• Being able to save for retirement.
• I will receive just over 10 million yen gross annually. Will that be enough to sustain a good life in Japan,Tokyo and still allow me to save?
• I care deeply about my health. I regularly visit the hospital for checkups, blood tests, or even just to see a doctor when I have food poisoning. Is this possible and affordable in Japan? I know Japan’s healthcare system is great compared to the U.S.
• I’ve heard that the work culture in Japan can be harsh. But what does that really mean? Does it involve long overtime, workplace bullying (mobbing), or other issues?
• I have long-term goals for Japan. As I said, I want to relocate to a developed country. I believe Japan is the best option — better than any EU country or the U.S. In short: free education, healthcare, and safety. The EU doesn’t feel safe to me anymore, and the U.S. definitely doesn’t.
