Advice for Foreigners Considering Moving to Japan

Summary of this article

  • Japan is considered to be an attractive destination for immigration.
  • You only need to be a person who does not commit crimes.


Some foreigners have moved to Japan today for a variety of reasons.

The country of Japan is an island nation in the Far East. 

You may think that Japanese people have an exclusive attitude toward foreigners. However, this is not true. Especially in populated urban areas. 

Since many foreigners already live in these areas, the Japanese are accustomed to their presence.



If you were to live in Japan today, what you would immediately understand would be how good the food is and how inexpensive it is.

Except for some special traditional Japanese dishes, you can enjoy foods from all over the world in Japan at relatively low prices. A trip to the supermarket will provide you with a wide variety of ingredients. Even when eating out, the number and variety of restaurants are extremely abundant. In urban areas, there are so many restaurants and eateries that it is impossible to visit them all. You can enjoy cooking for yourself or eating out. With the yen at a historic low, many people around the world can enjoy a very "economical" consumption lifestyle in Japan. I hope you will enjoy it.


Now, let me tell you what I absolutely must tell you in this article.


Do not become a criminal under any circumstances.

In extreme cases, if you are not a criminal, you will not be treated quite unfairly by the Japanese (if you are, it is only because the Japanese who treat you that way are shameful and foolish).


Japanese people hate criminals as if they were scorpions. Human rights are granted to human beings, even if they are criminals. However, the Japanese do not recognize the human rights of criminals.

Whether they are foreigners or fellow Japanese, no matter what their beliefs are, they are no different.

The Japanese are a people who want to capture and eliminate criminals with an extremely egalitarian mindset.

This attitude is so rigid, but it is so ingrained in our genes that no improvement can be expected. In Japanese society, those who disrupt "harmony" tend to be excluded. There is no doubt that those who greatly disturb the harmony of Japanese society are criminals.


In other words, if you are a foreigner, you will not be treated unfairly, especially if you are not a criminal.

This is not to say that you should behave well even if you feel uncomfortable, but you should not behave in a way that objectively looks "bad".


Finally, I would like to talk about the English ability of Japanese people.

As you can see from my article, Japanese people are not good at English.

Since they were an island society where people could live without any inconvenience as long as they could speak Japanese, the soil for a second language to take root was not nurtured. Today, however, an increasing number of Japanese are eager to learn English, and translation applications are becoming more practical, making it possible to communicate at least on a basic level.


However, rather than hoping that translation apps will improve the English ability of the Japanese, you should try your hand at the Japanese language. Japanese is said to be a difficult language to learn, but that is only in the area of reading and writing. Pronunciation itself is one of the easiest of any language, so simple communication can be learned quickly. In addition, Japanese people tend to open their hearts to foreigners who speak Japanese. They are very kind to foreigners who do their best to speak Japanese, so we strongly recommend that you make an effort to learn to speak Japanese, even if it is only simple Japanese. 

There are many foreigners living in Japan who cannot read or write but can speak Japanese at a comfortable level for daily conversation.

The Sealer-Puff After the Root Canal Obturation, the Relationship Between Root Canal Irrigation

  The sealer-puff is a characteristic appearance of sealer overflow outside the apical foramen on the confirmatory dental photograph after root canal filling.  This is caused by a small amount of sealer overflowing outside the apical foramen when the dentists pressurize the area around the apical constriction to achieve a tight root canal filling. It is also caused by sealer penetrating the lateral branches of the apical-delta due to pressure at the apex. The sealer puff is, after all, an overflow of foreign material into the periapical tissue of the root apex. Of course, dentists must always try to prevent foreign material to overflow from the root apex into the apical periapical tissue. However, if we take into account the cause of sealer puffs, we can evaluate them from a different perspective. Sealer puffs are... The area around the root apex is properly cleaned and free of debris, ensuring the patency of the root canal. And Be caused by the application of a good flow of sealer to

How to Connect NITI Files to EMR for Real-Time Monitoring.

In root canal treatment, the concept of working length is of great importance. The length from the apex to the reference point is defined by the dentist, and he or she proceeds with the file manipulation at that length. …working length, reference point, rubber-stopper, I hate those!  This is because it is likely to be an inaccurate operation.  I believe that the hidden reason why not a few dentists dislike root canal treatment is because of these "troublesome analog rules" on endodontics.  In particular, I did not feel confident in manipulating the NiTi file as per the working length, relying on the rubber-stopper, and I felt very uncomfortable. I have always been frustrated that I wish I could manipulate the NiTi file while measuring its length in real-time with the EMR, just like the hand SS files. To link the NiTi file to the EMR, the shortcut to a solution is to have the EMR clip grasped by the NiTi file. However, this would make the NiTi file extremely difficult to handl

Are Kurds Refugees?

　 This article is not related to my usual dental practice. Recently, Kurds have been causing problems in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. The Japanese mass media has not reported on this at all, but Japanese people who lived in Kawaguchi City have reported the situation vividly on Twitter. There is a growing sense of anxiety among the residents.  These Kurds have applied for refugee status in Japan, claiming that they are Turks, but they are persecuted in Turkey, so they have come to Japan as refugees and are asking for help. However, we know that they entered Japan as Turkish tourists and applied for refugee status as Kurds as soon as their tourist visas expired. By the way, about 600$ per month is provided from taxpayers' money as protection money. Generally, Japanese people do not discriminate against foreigners, but we do not like criminals who disrupt social security. The Japanese are equally averse to criminals, whether they are fellow countrymen or foreigners. I wo
