    Get Tips and Info on Life in South Africa from Japanese Expats

    Being an expat in South Africa means much more than packing your belongings and taking care of paperwork. Keeping in touch with your Japanese compatriots is a big part of the expat experience and can help you understand the South African people and their culture better. With InterNations, meeting other Japanese in South Africa is a breeze, no matter if you are in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban or any other expat magnet across the country. Just take our network of Japanese in Cape Town, for example.

    If you are in the mood to speak your mother tongue again, to learn about the best spots to shop for Japanese food, or to discuss your favorite sports team’s latest match, join the Japanese InterNations Community:

    • In our huge expat network, you can easily find like-minded expatriates from Japan.
    • Our South Africa Expat Forums are a great place to share experiences and advice – for example how to find a nanny speaking your language or where to get sushi and sashimi in Cape Town...
    • The InterNations Places database for South Africa helps you find institutions like the nearest Japanese embassy.

    From the Highveld's Gauteng City Region to the Garden Route, a scenic stretch along the south-east coast, we’ll get you in touch with helpful and friendly Japanese expats in South Africa.

    Meet Fellow Japanese in South Africa at Our Many Expat Activities

    Participating in our regular expat events and activities in South Africa is another wonderful advantage of your membership. Our events cater to virtually all interests, ranging from a nice dinner with your fellow expats to enjoy some famous bobotie, South Africa’s national dish, to large expat get-togethers with hundreds of guests in some of Cape Town’s most exclusive locations. Looking for a weekend getaway? Simply join one of our expat excursions with a group of fellow Japanese in Cape Town and discover the wilderness trails of Kruger National park, the Cape of Good Hope, and other impressive landmarks across South Africa.

    Our events and activities are a great way of meeting fellow expats from Japan and all around the globe in a casual atmosphere. Does this sound interesting to you? Then sign up for membership and you’ll hear a heartfelt Konbanwa from our Japanese living in South Africa!
