Japanese life of accompanying spouse/family

Ensuring that accompanying families are not isolated is an important factor in stabilizing long-term migration.

This page not only provides general information, but also organizes the order and points to check when actually preparing. For people coming to Japan from overseas, it is important to proceed with plenty of time, as each procedure can take time due to differences in language and systems.

Create life goals other than your own

Think about work, study, hobbies, etc.

Conditions vary depending on the person and company. The most efficient way to proceed is to organize your purpose, timing, budget, and necessary language support, and then check only the parts you don't understand with a specialist.

Have contact with the local community

Find events and communities.

There are many things that cannot be seen on maps or photos, so if possible, check on-site. As the time of day and day of the week change, the crowds and atmosphere of the city change, so it will be easier to make a decision if you consider the time you will be using the place.

Continuing your Japanese learning effortlessly

We will start with expressions necessary for daily life.

share the burden within the family

Avoid focusing on one person for formalities and household chores.

When considering the lifestyle of not only the person but also the entire family, the place they live and how they spend their time will also change. It will be easier to reduce the burden after daily life if you use the facilities that you frequently use and the trips you make every day as your criteria.

Review your life regularly

Make time to talk about your problems.

Share priorities at family meetings

When migrating or living for a long time, if only one person has the information, the burden will be uneven on the family. Share with your family what has been decided and what hasn't been decided about school, housing, work, medical care, and budget. It will be easier to adapt if you listen to your child's wishes depending on their age and review them regularly after they start living together.

Think not only about your life in Japan but also about your future.

The way you choose schools and housing will depend on whether you plan to leave Japan in a few years or are planning to settle down for a long time. If you consider the possibility of future education, job changes, and returning to your home country, you will be able to see the flexibility necessary for your current choices.
