YOUR MOVE TO JAPAN

Three school contacts + one ready-written email

It starts here. Pick a school, add your details, and send the email I’ve already written for you.

It takes a lot of work to move to Japan, and even more once you get here. Luckily, I did it all for you.

You'll walk away with a tangible, easy-to-follow, step-by-step timeline completely customized to your finances and needs, a useful Japanese language pack, pre-written reachouts, and the contacts to send them to.

Once you’re here, you’ll know where to eat cheaply, meet people and practise Japanese, and take someone on a date, with my dating-app recommendations, prices, maps and plans already worked out.

All it takes is that first step.
