How to Move to and Work in Japan

To many people, moving to Japan seems not just daunting, but almost impossible. However there is a way that makes getting a job and moving to Japan relatively painless and much more easily accessible.

Every week I receive dozens of emails asking how I ended up living and working in Japan and this video finally seeks to address the question of how I did and how you might be able to do it too.

Failing that, please message me directly on Facebook or Twitter!

This is honestly my dream job and dream lifestyle. Nothing else. People want to make lots of money and live in a big house eating good food. I want to live in a small apartment in japan and explore what the country has to offer, learning Japanese and teaching English in return!

the 'laugh at jokes i don't understand' part made me laugh so much

As a French person, I can definitely enderstand the pain you're experiencing in Japan for not having cheese. Stay strong my cheese brother...

[moyga]

[russrh]

2 years without cheese? would you say it's starting to grate on you?

[juulhuis]

get my english fluently
learn japanese

This guy should stick around in Japan for a while, maybe make some more videos.

'Two Years Without Cheese' would make a good name for a novel.

I absolutely LOVE all of your videos....you are inspiring me more and more to choose Japan to teach English. Keep em coming!

Please do a remake of this video for 2022. Would love to hear your current perspective and experience.

Was that an attempt at singing smells like teen spirit?

Really interesting to see Chris' origin story! I love how it all started with something so simple as teaching English and he just kinda turned it into a massively successful Youtube career.

I'm a bit of an exception in that I passed my N1 before moving to Japan, which made it a lot easier to find a job since English/Japanese bilinguals are always in demand. I can't wait to play dangerous hippo games with my new friends in Japan 😩🙏

I can imagine you being awesome teacher, it seems like your students really liked you! ...that james bond poster :D haha so great!

At 2:42, that Japanese girl has better hand writing than I do. -.-

It is just amazing to to see that you reply to almost every comment. Absolutely love all your videos and the touch of humor you give them. I am starting an internship in Tokyo this October and your videos have made me more excited than ever. Thank You :)

[darnko]

Bondgirl, that's so cute! Your student has a crush on you. But who wouldn't? I love how much effort you put into your videos. You put other jvloggers to shame (I still like you Victor) ;)
