Dreaming of a Japanese adventure?

Many foreigners in Japan miss out on incredible opportunities because they’re simply unaware of their rights and options. Life in Japan can be fantastic, but also… well, a bit complicated! 🤯 Not to worry. I compiled all the information you need in a simple well-organized book, so you can have a happy life in Japan, while also saving you time, money, and stress! 💰✨

Why a guidebook? Can’t I just Google it? 🤔

You might be thinking, “Why do I need a guidebook when I have the internet?” Great question! Here’s the thing:

- You can’t search for what you don’t know exists. 🤷‍♀️

- Many essential Japanese websites are… well, in Japanese! 💻➡️🇯🇵
