Why You Should NOT Move to Japan (And How-To For Those Who Should) 

Can you recommend a website for dating Japanese?

i wonder how hard it would be to get a low position in a construction type workplace in japan.

Thanks for your continuous support!

It's a very achievable dream :)

I do it in 3 or 4 countries But buying land in Thailand or Vietnam is tough without locals u trust. I have rich trustworthy friends in both countries. Also Comany A can lease from company B different partners If one of your partners is strong like a general or minister, no one will mess with u.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Please do!

Thanks for watching! Yes, it's definitely achievable. It all depends on how much capital, time and effort you would be willing to put in. Also know that you can only rent out your AirBnb for 180 days out of the year based on Japan's short-term rental regulation.

What will you study there and it’s my last year in high school so how can I become a teacher like do they have college there or should I graduate in my country as teacher and apply to them please answer ??????

@@haidermahdi8552 im going to study Japanese at a Japanese language school. I have 59 credit hours from Oklahoma state university so if I decide to I can finish my degree there. Your young so you’d want to look at a college in america with a foreign exchange program with japan. Language school costs money, I’m seeing 1,500,000 yen for 2 year language school in Osaka Japan. And they’ll help you find part time job. But at your age you’ll want a degree and the language school is strictly language. University there would require a strong understanding of the language. It’s ok though, your young. With out a lot of wealth it’ll take you time to go to Japan if your wanting to stay longer then a vacation and earn the money needed to live an American lifestyle there 👌🤓😎.

@@haidermahdi8552 you can teach English if you have a degree 👌🤓😎. The pay is above average there.

@@haidermahdi8552 so the Japanese language school I found for 2 years is 11,000$ without your apartment and food costs. And they train you to pass the Japanese proficiency tests that certify you know Japanese. The jobs take extra skills so that’s why going to university with foreign exchange and the chance to learn Japanese for credits is the best route. Then you can come to Japan with your degree or working on your degree and earn your degree with credits from learning Japanese . I’m 30 and have income outside of a job so I can just pay for the school and my living expenses. It’ll take focus and constant planning for such move. It’s a migration 🤓😁😎

Thank you so fucking much buddy that helped me a lot thanks for your time I really appreciate you so all it takes its to learn full Japan language and English and I can do my degree there and become a English teacher also I can do it in my country right? and I’m applying to purchase a abandoned house there I also have another question

Here you go: Import and export. Agriculture. English language schools. Restaurants. Real Estate. Alternative Medicine. Drone services. Massage and salon.

What about the Tech Industry?

@@levette284 thanks for the info but this is general reply .. what specific

Awesome. Sounds like you got things planned out - would love to hear about your journey as you experience it!

@@shumatsuopost yes sir! I will keep you posted! 😁😇😎. Osaka is where it’s at but I definitely plán to see alot of Japan 😁

@@CHESTERC3HARRIS Love it. That's a good base. I love Osaka :)

Better than Tokyo Cheaper less polluted less traffic

If they sponsor your visa, there is a chance!

I'm sure there are many people in Japan who would be open to be with a foreign national. You'll learn Japanese from them and they can teach you English - win win?

What's a "rental" girlfriend? 😂

​@@vitocorleone8323 a wife who leaves u in ten years for the divorce penalty

Thanks for watching :)

I've heard that the US would check on that but I've never heard about Japan doing it. I hope you'll find a partner that you actually want to spend time with :)

If you marry a Japanese national, you don't become a Japanese national, you just get a spousal Visa which is easier to get than some of the other Visas.

Japanese naturalization process is one of the toughest in world. You'll need marriage/divorce papers of your parents, because a KOSEKI (i.e. family tree) will be created for you. Everything from the day you were born to present, you need to submit documents with a Japanese translation. Last year in 2022, there were 861 naturalization cases approved by the immigration bureau. In reality, most applications are not even allowed to submit until the requirements are met. It takes about 2 years for the entire review process. That is after 5 years of living in Japan, and certain amount of years married. They check everything from tax, social security, interviewing neighbors and colleagues...without stable income and language fluency, you cannot even submit your application.

If you plan to move as an artist or musician, will that be under an entrepreneur visa or?

If you're already a freelance artist and consultant, I would try to find a job in Japan to get a visa. Worst case, you can sustain your lifestyle as a freelancer even if you don't find a job.

@@shumatsuopost Thank you! I’ll start searching for jobs then🙌🏻✨

Didn’t you watch the video?

Thank you for your kind words. f you speak English and like teaching, becoming an international school teacher might be your best bet. Good luck :)

@@shumatsuopost life is funny indeed and always gets in the way. Just started a new business, retail store. Looks like I'm not going anywhere any time soon 🤣

Hope it would work out well for you!

I'm sorry to hear that. Can you tell me more about what you're experiencing in west Europe?

Facts

That’s fine. People don’t want me in America half the time either lol

Sounds like a plan

Great question and I don't know the answer to that but I don't see why not.

What are their mistakes?

@@shumatsuopost to many to speak about in a comments section bro lol.

Sounds like a solid plan you have - I agree about the income. If you can get paid in USD and live in Japan, the money will go far with the weak JPY and lower costs of living here (for the most part)

@Shu Matsuo Post I'll be JP this June (maybe 2 months, depending on the deals), first 2 weeks will up North, Hokkaido, Sandai, Amori, Sapporo relaxing and enjoying onsen. After that heading back to Tokyo for 2 days meeting at Tokyo Baycourt Club with my investors for our venture in US. Than to Sakado to help out family business and relax. Maybe end it with JReast on for site seeing on JR Gran along the ocean. I don't know how we can conduct business, let me know and maybe we can meet up before I head back the US.

@@theinternationalist1357 Yes, I would love that. I am leaving Japan for 5 months in mid June though so maybe the timing might not work out but it if does, I'd love to meet up. Would you mind emailing me your contact info? shu@postfi.co

@Shu Matsuo Post yeah, the timing is a little off. I'll be back in JP doing the wintertime. Every year at least 2 times but can increase for 3 visits. I'll email you. Not US I have too much going in the US already. What do you have in mind for Nippon?

@@theinternationalist1357 Sounds great! I'd love to share my new business idea with you as well. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for watching and leaving such a thoughtful comment. Appreciate your support!

There's a lot of merit to your statements, but it's never, ever that simple. You're talking about complex societies made of hundreds of millions of people. There ARE a lot of benefits in Japan's homogenous population, but it also creates a lot of issues at the same time. Japan's culture stays in tact, its society knows exactly what is expected of them, and it just so happens to be a place where people care more about sustaining the harmony of the environment rather than doing what might be best for themselves. This means everyone knows their manners, there's very little violent crime, and it's probably the cleanest country of that size on Earth. That inherent unstated societal agreement can be contributed, in part at least, to the homogeneity and isolation Japan has had over the centuries. At the same time, Japan's birth rate is among the lowest of all developed nations, they're a rapidly aging population, a rapidly urbanizing population, and a rapidly declining population. Being resistant to outside influence means that certain facets of society will utilize the same practices that work until they literally cannot anymore. As such, their business use outdated products and practices that have, at one time, contributed to an entire generation being left out of their society even to this day. And not allowing foreigners in means that there's no one to make up for, or help form novel solutions to, any of these deficiencies. The West isn't failing, either, it's evolving. There are a ton of problems, but there's also a ton of innovation, and the opportunity that people find in moving to a western country usually comes from the idea that those opportunities don't exist in their own countries. There's definitely good and bad in all aspects of all nations and societies, but I don't think one outweighs the other. Now you might, and that's fine, I'm not actually trying to change your mind on anything. Just always good to get a different perspective on things.

@@JetWarrior I studied Sociology and still keep up with certain anthropology journals so I appreciate your perspective all the same. A lot of what you said is also true. I appreciate the good-faith arguments. Here's my take. Depopulation topic: Yes, Japan is rapidly depopulating alongside China. That said, with exceptions, every top 25 GDP economy in the world is suffering from depopulation - but depopulation also has its benefits. Yes, pensions are undergoing a crisis in Japan, though housing is incredibly cheap and accessible throughout the whole country (housing is the #1 expense across the West with certain exceptions on healthcare in certain states in the US) and most Western nations cannot state the same. Inflation has constantly stagnated with Japan's deflationary economy of over 30 years. Wages in the West don't adjust accurately for all the inflation they suffer, thus housing, util, food, etc. have been rising for decades eroding the shrinking middle class in Western nations (many articles discuss and examine this issue). Don't get me wrong, Japan too, though non-comparable, making the West largely failing its middle class. Per Capita, Homelessness, Life Expectancy, Crime, Housing Cost, Drunk Driving deaths, Homicide, Civil Arrest (including Civil Arrest damages which private companies are paying billions for since the race riots in the US + France + UK, etc), Home Invasion, and Women subjected to Domestic/Sexual violence (United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD)) Safe drivers, etc. have Japan ranked lower than most of their Western counterparts. For example, it's like 0.7 murders in Japan each day vs the largest rapidly diversifying Western country's 47 murders each day on avg and climbing (US). This is empirical data that should be celebrated and has some similarities with other homogenous nations in the East. It's also worth noting crime has skyrocketed the last 10 years across Western Europe and the US with both rapidly diversifying. For example, take the US, the Top nominal GDP for the West, and use it's CPI to calculate inflation from 30 years ago and what you have to make now to make comparable money and see how rapidly it's declining. (The CPI is actually showing you a skewed number since its statistical formula was altered in favor of a calculation to produce a skewed and lower inflation % by politicians in the 1980s and 1990s. Thus in effect, it's actually a worse number but that's another story). I get what you're saying, Japan is not perfect, but it's doing a lot right - and if it so happens to change, all the aforementioned good will change rapidly in Japan for little good. Humanity is also NOT perfect, but the rest of the diverse world has failed to produce results that challenge Japan in just two or three of these statistics at once.

Really interesting insight. Thanks for sharing.

Men can have babies now too, ask people in America. Actually there are no males or females anymore.

Japan needs more young people to increase their tax base, deal with national debt and devaluing yen and to contain the cost of medical care and insurance(residence tax) Wealth and estate taxes are best Capping business and real estate tax deductions Taxing sales of foreign affiliates whether in Ireland. Dubai or wherever.

The main problem is the tax. How do you tax people who are digital nomads? In fact, isn't that why they're nomads?

Not exactly. I would presume If you live as a resident in Japan with any type of visa you still need to pay your taxes regardless where your income comes from.@@yo2trader539I guess If you are travelling as a tourist (max 3 months) and working remotely you still need to pay taxes with your country of residency. If you are stateless then Im not sure how it works.

Sounds awesome ;)

That is certainly a interesting take altho depends really for any nationality not just for Indians . I absolutely agree on statement of extremism as born Muslim in a Eastern European at least on paper in Christian majority country , that forcefully using Violence or anything similar to that shouldn't be done or that way of explaining someone religion is totally wrong. That goes for all of religions be that Islam, Chrisanity,Hinduism etc. But on the other hand if I practice my religion not disturbing anyone else and someone takes a interest in knowing what I practice I'm going to help them no matter who they are to get to know what our teachings do and if they think it is for them and found the truth and answers, they can come join us freely no problem and nobody shall force them to do so. And that's unfortunately why people mix those that do bad things on our account or "in our name" that they see on Media and like say "Oh you are from them extremist who do bad things and such" I don't think all Hindus are bad ofc I have about 3-4 Indian online friend I talk to on daily through Discord and they are one of the nicest dudes I've talked to. I'm very open to conversing with anyone who is a good person in general. As in for Japan I am going to study there for a year in language school for a year so I'm hopeful to get good experience. Maybe if I find a potential job opportunities might stay longer idk. Let's see what future holds. As in if Japan is good even for me I would say definently cause as far as I've seen altho at least by law and in Public, they don't discriminate based on Religion, your nationality, allow you to practice your religion freely without much problems or at all, don't have a hard crack on laws that just targets you mindlessly,has a lot of religious places and organisations, has pretty decent amount of places catering to dietal regime etc. And I personally think that those who are not native to Japan should abide by Japanese laws and regulations. Respecting and integrating in what you can integrate properly if not possible to do something they do for a various reasons be it personal, religious etc. Then at least should respect their work and things. Shouldn't be shunned or made uncomfortable to do so. Overall I would put Japan over many European countries that is for sure. If we talk about East Asian or South East Asians then it would be there in a good place ofc but not as high as it would be compared to European ones.

actually they are the worst and f’ked up silly con valley California obeying technocrat corporate policies. Most narcissist a-holes.

Hopefully they don’t lynch people for eating beef like they do in India. Kobe beef is great!

Says an Indian Hindu 😂
