About Living in Japan

We help first-time visitors plan Japan with accurate, up-to-date, money-saving information. The site is run by a Japan resident.

How guides are made

Guides are drafted with the help of AI research tools. Every factual claim must link to the source page it came from, and each draft is read and approved by a human editor before it is published.

Keeping things current

Each guide shows a "last verified" date. Rules and prices in Japan change, so please confirm important details with the official sources we link.
