Tips and Advice on Japan from Your Fellow Finnish Expats
Obviously, expat life in Japan goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. 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.
