Japan is an island nation in East Asia. With 127 million inhabitants, it is one of the most populous countries in the world. The climate in the individual regions ranges from moderate to subtropical. The population structure is very homogeneous. Japanese is spoken almost exclusively. Most people live in the large cities. With 40 million inhabitants, the Tokyo metropolitan area is the largest metropolitan region in the world. Accordingly, living space is limited.
The cost of living, especially housing, is considered relatively high. Japan has a very highly developed and export-intensive economy. It is considered one of the strongest in the world. To maintain this high level, Japan generally attaches importance to a good standard of education for the population.
Our relocation guide has valuable tips for you, including: As soon as you start thinking about emigrating to Japan, you should start learning the local language, Japanese. You will need to have your German driver’s license rewritten at a Japanese driver’s license office. It will have an expiration date and therefore must always be renewed in a timely manner. To avoid embarrassing situations, you should familiarize yourself with some Japanese ways of living in everyday life. For example, greeting is never done by shaking hands. The usual greeting is “konnichiwa” with a bow and a smile.
