Research for a move that holds up in real life.

Relocate to Japan is an independent research project built by John, a software developer in the United States.

He and his wife have always been fascinated with Japan and their culture. Their love for Japan only increased after their first visit.

The site began as a way to organize the questions that come with a possible move from the US to Japan.

Today, the goal is narrower and more useful: turn official guidance, housing terminology, and relocation logistics into practical steps that are easier to compare and revisit.

We are not an immigration law firm, moving company, or relocation agency. Requirements change, so consequential visa, tax, housing, and administrative claims should always be confirmed with the linked primary source or the responsible authority.
