    Tips and Advice on Iceland from Your Fellow Japanese Expats

    Obviously, expat life in Iceland goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow Japanese is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Icelandic mentality and way of life. Japanese in Iceland are a part of our community, calling cities such as Akureyri, Keflavik, Reykjavik, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Japanese in Reykjavik, for example.
