Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to speak Japanese?
No. The Japan Job List covers roles that hire in English, and every position is sourced by hand. Japanese ability widens your options, but it isn't required to use the list.
What's the difference between the two paid editions?
Japan Work Report ($5/month) is the strategy layer: salaries, hiring trends, and which companies are recruiting and how.
Japan Job List ($10/month) is the action layer: 10 to 20 English-friendly roles in your inbox every week. If you're applying right now, start with the Job List. If you're planning a move, start with the Work Report.
I'm still abroad. Is this useful before I move?
Most readers are still abroad. The free newsletter covers visa routes, PR timelines and market conditions, and the paid editions help you line up interviews before you arrive rather than after.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly plans cancel any time from your account, and annual plans renew only at the end of the year. You don't need to email anyone to cancel.
