Tips and Advice on Japan from Your Fellow Finnish Expats

Socializing with fellow Finns is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Japanese mentality and way of life. Finns in Japan are a part of our community, calling cities such as Sapporo, the Kansai Region, Tokyo, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Finns in Tokyo, for example.
