They made me show one the three times I've rented there: Naha, Ishigaki and up north on the main island...you may be able to rent a scooter without one. FWIW I got some "fake" IDP from a Chinese website and it's worked fine globally...

Hey! Any nomad meetups happening in Tokyo in the next couple of weeks?

javi 6mo

Yes, I think on 7th of may next one

pwaltz 6mo

I'll be in Osaka and the surrounding area. Was thinking of renting a car on Saturday with a few people...need my nature fix! Does anyone have recs for good nature spots good for a day trip around/outside of Osaka?

tommyc 6mo

You might like the Kumano region. It's ~100km south of Osaka so maybe a bit too far a day trip. I'll be visiting Mount Koya (north Kumano) tomorrow (about 90 mins from Namba by train) and staying there overnight.

pwaltz 6mo

Oh nice! I stayed in Koya-San about 15 years ago, maybe with a revisit :)

What’s the best way to find a place to stay long term in Japan and find coworkers spaces? I’m completely new to fully remote life.

pwaltz 6mo

We went to Minoo park and waterfall. It was great fyi! So close to the city and right now the momiji (Japanese maple) are fresh and bright green.

pwaltz 6mo

I just found within this telegram group that there’s a meetup in Tokyo coming up and through that a WhatsApp link for a group. Might be a good place to ask there!

The whole southern part of the island below Osaka is beautiful, in particular the coastline. The forest and mountains is well worth exploring too (wakayama)

andrew9 5mo

I have two more weeks in Osaka, any recommendations for good quiet coffee shops or co-working spaces suitable for long hours?

cyberneticist 5mo

Checking in from Tokyo. Who’s around?

javi 5mo

javi 5mo

Let’s organize some beers or coffee

lukelou 5mo

Heyy guys, I'm going to soon be in Gifu/Nagoya/Osaka. It would be great to connect with anyone around those areas, and we can hang out, and see some spots together, practice Japanese or whatever. Drop me a message.

Anyone planning a longer stay in Fukuoka?

I'm based in Kiyokawa, Chuo-ku — one of the
city's most authentic neighbourhoods, above
a historic shopping arcade.

Happy to answer questions about the area,
best local spots, cost of living, or what
a real month in Fukuoka actually looks like.

DM me anytime. evaeuftijhursxkn

atti1a 3mo

danamo 3mo

Also 3.5 stars on google maps is a great score in Japan

I am particularly travelling to Kussharo, Biei, Furano, Sapporo, and Otaru.

Anyone local have any tech recruiters they’ve worked with? I’m looking to make my move to Tokyo official with a work visa, and haven’t been making much progress with applications.

☕️ Creator / Solopreneur Coffee Chat

I’m thinking of organizing a small coffee chat for creators and solopreneurs to talk about the journey of building a one-person business.

I’m thinking 5 people max, somewhere in or around Kyoto Station or Sakyo Ward. We can meet at a Starbucks or izakaya, grab a drink, and have a casual conversation.

If you’re a full-time creator, solopreneur, or indie founder—whether you’re running a personal brand, creating and selling courses, building a SaaS, or making a living from your own business instead of a traditional job—let me know if you’re free to meet up!

mariohabashy 1mo

Hey what’s up guys - in Tokyo for 2 weeks atm. Anyone in town? From Texas

nthnjns 1mo

Better to work remotely and bounce after 180 days. Go chill somewhere else for a while. Come back.

kyoton 1mo

You’d be right, but I’ve been doing the 180 days for the last 3 years. Finding remote work in the U.S. is rough right now, and I have no leads.

liamdillon 1mo

I’ve been considering this 180 days thing myself. Have you guys been doing the 180 days, then spending another 180 days outside the country before returning?

Or do you not necessarily have to wait that long?

nthnjns 1mo

I've done both (consecutive and non). Ended up buying a place in Tokyo but never bothered with PR. I still like being nomadic. Haven't had an issue flying in and out at the end of 90 days but mostly I'm just there in Spring and Fall (Summer is horrible in Tokyo).

nthnjns 1mo

Are you N4 at least?

kyoton 1mo

I did 90 in, quick trip out, then another 90.

kyoton 1mo

I’m working on it at the moment. I’m closer to N5 for now.

nthnjns 1mo

Honestly man, there's not going to be a tech job that you can do that a local can't do, especially with shit Japanese. All the people I know that have interesting tech jobs in Japan (Palantir, GS, etc) were hired in the US and then transferred to the Japanese office. My advice, if you really want to live in Japan, is to take the ALT/teaching route. Get a contract/apartment. Grind to N1. Do side hustles (I know people making $3k a month doing stupid Instagram photography and ramen tours in Tokyo) and get to a position where you can add value to a Western company expanding to the market.

harentambi 25d

Come down to Shimoda, it's 3h train from Tokyo. But beautiful coastal town

harentambi 25d

If you want to work, I went to S Tokyo few time, nice place to hangout as well. The staff are super friendly if you need help

olgie007 20d

Anyone in Sapporo/Hakodate want to grab a beer/coffee this week?

travlerspirit 20d

biggihs 10d

Hey everybody, those of you who are working remote from Tokyo are you using coworking spaces or other, like coffehouses/hotelroom/??
I'm coming early January and I'm looking for some coworking places.
How do you like them?
