Tokyo 101: An Expat’s Guide to Living in Japan

Relocating to a new country can be both thrilling and nerve-racking.

To help you start making the most of your new home, Connections’ two-day orientation is designed to offer an overview of life in Japan and plenty of advice from locals and seasoned expats.

With presentations on a range of key subjects (see list below), from healthcare and culture to food and disaster preparedness, and opportunities to ask questions, this program also enables newcomers to network and make connections.

Looking to expand your social circle even more? Tokyo 101 attendees are invited to the Connections BBQ event on September 27.

Both days include a light breakfast and buffet lunch.

Sign up today and start living your best life in Japan!
