Moving to Japan, Made Possible.

For digital nomads and the financially independent.

Live in Japan, lower your cost of living

Japan is a top travel destination and well known for its world class quality of life. What many do not know, however, is that living in Japan can be surprisingly affordable. For example, there are over 10M empty houses (akiya) in Japan! From housing and healthcare to childcare and dining, you'll find a remarkable difference in the cost of living compared to other developed countries.

If your goal is to relocate to a developed country where you can enjoy higher purchasing power, Japan should be at the top of your list!

Who Am I?

Hi there! I'm Nick, the founder of Japan Remotely. After my first trip to Japan over 20 years ago, I dreamt of living in Japan. The reality of working there was tough—hard work, stress, and low pay. Fortunately, I discovered a better path: working remotely for a company outside Japan. It allowed me to enjoy the Japanese lifestyle I loved while meeting my personal and financial needs.

With Japan Remotely, my mission is to help YOU skip the challenging parts and dive straight into making your dream of living in Japan a reality.

Let's unlock the possibilities together at Japan Remotely!

Success Stories

I worked as an English teacher in Japan for a number of years but wanted to get into engineering. I found a job as an engineer but needed to update my visa type. Nick worked with my HR department to help them understand what needed to be done. In the end, he eased their fears and the change was smooth for all parties involved.

When I made the decision to relocate to Japan for an engineering position, Nick went above and beyond to ensure a smooth transition. He seamlessly coordinated with a trusted Japanese immigration lawyer on my behalf, facilitating crucial matters such as the certificate of eligibility, work visa, and subsequent visa renewals.

After I finished the JET Programme, I wanted to stay in Japan but didn’t want to continue teaching English. Nick gave me valuable advice and connected me with a reputable business with growing human resource needs. I was able to stay in Japan, change my career, and worked with that business for over 5 years.
