What American expats need to know about Japan
Visa
Digital Nomad Visa — launched April 2024, requires ¥10M+/yr income (~$68,000). Valid only 6 months with no extension; must leave for 6 months before reapplying. Business Manager Visa is the long-term alternative — requires opening a Japan-based business with ¥5M+ capital (¥~$34,000).
Cost of Living
20-40% less than US major cities (yen has weakened significantly). Tokyo is comparable to Chicago; rural Japan is remarkably affordable at ¥150,000-200,000/mo.
Key Fact
The digital nomad visa does not grant residency — you cannot open a bank account, sign a phone contract, or rent a standard apartment. You will need a gaijin-friendly share house or serviced apartment.
Life in Japan
Bullet trains through mountain valleys, convenience stores that put restaurants to shame, and a society of quiet precision where ancient temples hide between neon-lit skyscrapers.
