The New Improved GaijinPot

GaijinPot recently underwent a complete renovation and the site is now looking fresh and totally new. GaijinPot which launched in 1999 has long been known as the place to visit for jobs in Japan. It is the leading employment and life resource website for foreigners living or interested in coming to Japan. The new improved website has expanded to include sections on study and travel, which further improve the services and resources offered by GaijinPot. The new layout is a big improvement over the old site and is a lot easier to use and navigate.

The study section includes language schools in Japan for Japanese study as well as study material and lessons. The study material such as Japan National Holidays and Yamanote line allow you to learn about Japan while picking useful Japanese phrases and words.

The travel section allows you to search for hotels in Japan and offers packages, such as airline tickets, hotels and trains.

Work in Japan

GaijinPot also has a wide variety of jobs listed in their Work section to assist you in finding work in Japan. They have expanded from just English teaching jobs to include more fields such as Business, IT and Human Resources just to mention a few.

Japan Travel Advice

I am really happy to announce that my latest project Japan Travel Advice has just been launched. This has been a labour of love for me the past year as I have planned the site and gathered the required material from my 10 years in Japan.

The site has lofty ambitions as can be witnessed by the Japan Travel Advice slogan “The Complete Japan Travel Guide”. We have aimed high and realize that in no way the current content is up to our desired goal. We have the basic structure for the site in place and will continue to build upon what is in place. Over the coming months we will continue to post new content on the specific destinations and attractions in Japan to build up the site and reach our goal of being the complete Japan travel guide.

I would love for you to visit the site and let me know what you think. You can do that by clicking on this link Japan Travel Advice

You can leave comments here below and we welcome all feedback from you about the site. We know that it is not perfect at this stage, but will strive to meet our goals and ambitions of being the complete travel guide.

The Japan Rail Pass

Japan’s rail services are one of the best in the world. They are extremely efficient and go just about everywhere in Japan. If you plan to do a lot of travelling in Japan then you should consider the Japan Rail Pass. The pass allows for unlimited travel on the national JR network, including the shinkansen (bullet trains) excluding the Nozomi superexpress.

This pass can only be purchased outside of Japan and will save you travel money in Japan.

If you plan, like most tourists to travel the Golden Route of Tokyo – Kyoto – Osaka – Hiroshima it is well worth looking at this pass. You must be travelling in Japan under the visa status of “temporary visitor” to be eligible.
