What is life like as an expat in your area?
When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...
"Living in Japan as an expat or digital nomad can be an exciting and rewarding experience. The country is known for its unique culture, delicious food, and friendly people. Expats and digital nomads can find a variety of accommodation options, from traditional Japanese apartments to modern high-rise buildings. The public transportation system is efficient and reliable, making it easy to get around. Expats and digital nomads can also take advantage of the many cultural activities and attractions available in Japan, such as visiting temples, exploring the countryside, and attending festivals. With its vibrant cities, stunning natural beauty, and welcoming people, Japan is an ideal destination for expats and digital nomads," remarked another expat in Japan.
"Most people are family oriented and very sociable. Okinawan people in general are very sociable and enjoy sports especially baseball, SUMO wrestling, martial arts and basketball," said a member in Okinawa, Japan.
