Rules

• Be useful. Practical information and honest experience are valued over hot takes.
• Be respectful. Useful criticism of life/work in Japan is welcome; hostility is not.
• No racism or xenophobia, toward Japanese people or foreigners.
• No personal attacks.
• No doxxing.
• No spam, including ads disguised as posts.
• No fake certainty about legal, tax, or visa rules - share sources, and say when you're not sure.
• Share sources when possible.
• First-hand experience is welcome, even if it's not a definitive answer.
• Low-effort rants may be removed.

Good submissions

Official announcements, practical guides, high-quality blog posts, job openings relevant to foreign professionals, first-hand stories with useful lessons, and genuinely useful tools and services.

Bad submissions

Pure tourist content, generic Japan listicles, ragebait, unverifiable legal/tax/visa claims, low-effort memes, duplicate content, and personal attacks.
