Japan, located in eastern Asia, has a large population of 127 million plus people. Modern cities like Tokyo support a majority of the population and offers everything you could wish for in one location, whether that be shopping, fine dining, cultural events, the arts, concerts, etc. Here, I'll give you the best important tips on how to relocate to Japan:

1. Ensure you know which documents you will need prior to moving, whether that be a visa or passport or both. The embassy for your particular country should be able assist you before you relocate to Japan.

2. Plan ahead wisely. Start looking for jobs in the areas of Japan you plan to work in. It helps to keep in touch with friends, penpals, or ex-pats who can help you in your search and provide you information about jobs available. Beef up that resume!

3. Search for a real estate agent or a realtor in Japan who can help you search for an apartment or home. Remember, the living spaces in Japan are much smaller than what you are accustomed to in the states. Be prepared to pay extra for more space.

4. Research the banks, schools, food markets, etc to get an idea of what facilities will be available to you once you relocate to Japan. Make sure you have a piggy bank to pay for unforeseen expenses. Cities like Tokyo can be quite expensive.

5. Learn a little Japanese. There's nothing worse than being lost in an unfamiliar city and not being able to communicate with the locals because you can't speak their language. It's always impressive to the locals when you show some initiative in speaking their language; they would be glad to assist you if they know you're trying.

6. Expect some culture shock. Even though Japan is a very modern country, the lifestyle is different from what you may be used to. This will take time, but eventually you will learn to integrate into the Japanese culture. Read up on the local customs and what is considered rude behavior.

I can sense a bottle of Saki with your name on it. Or how about a night of Karaoke with your buddies? You can experience all that and more once you start planning to relocate to Japan!
