Common questions

What's it like working in Tokyo as a foreigner?

Visa sponsorship and English-friendliness depend on the specific employer, not the city. Check each listing and employer directly.

Can foreigners work in Japan without speaking Japanese?

Yes. Companies with English as their working language, mostly foreign-invested firms and multinational teams based in Tokyo, hire English speakers who are still learning Japanese. Most Japanese-only employers still expect at least conversational Japanese, so check the language chip on each listing.

Which companies in Japan sponsor work visas?

Sponsorship depends on the employer, not on a fixed list of companies. Office and technical roles are often hired under Japan's Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services status of residence, and school teaching roles under Instructor or that same status. The employer usually applies for the status, so confirm the route with the recruiter or Japan's Immigration Services Agency (moj.go.jp/isa).

What does Seoulstart's read show for a Japan job?

Each Japan listing carries our own read on the likely visa route, the Japanese level the role expects, and the JLPT level if one is stated. We generate it from the posting itself, not from the employer.
