What is JoynTokyo ?
Our mission is to show the world that Japan is a society where people from all over the world can live authentically and comfortably as themselves. To achieve this, we provide content that helps foreign visitors and residents explore the joys of Japan, whether they are new arrivals, or have been here for years.
Our team is made up of an international group of both foreigners living in Japan and Japanese nationals, all of whom have personal experience and deep knowledge of life in Japan. They leverage this experience and expertise to create easy-to-understand content from the perspective of anyone who wants to know more about this beautiful country.
We believe Japan is one of the most exciting and appealing countries in the world to live in. Nevertheless, there are many challenges for foreigners when it comes to relocating here. We don’t want people who have come to Japan because they have loved it from afar to feel disappointed.
JoynTokyo supports anyone who has come to Japan with dreams and hopes of a joyous life, and helps them to live as comfortably and happily as possible.

Developer
I moved to Japan in 2024 after enrolling in The Naganuma School, to learn the language. During my studies at a Japanese language school, I was also working part time at a Japanese marketing company, where I was in charge of web development and SEO marketing. I hope to connect with and help people with similar experiences.
