  While I have a heavy burden and many objectives to achieve in my work, there are also many opportunities to relax in Tokyo. There are many interesting places and environments in which I can interact with people.
  If I have a problem, we can solve it together.
  There are facilities and media in Tokyo that allow me to express myself.
  So, there is a good work-life balance and it is really fun to work here in Tokyo.

  I think the appeal of Tokyo is that I can learn a lot from being in major city home to various people from differing backgrounds.
  I encounter people of various differing nationalities and age groups in my work.
  Each and every way of thinking is different and understanding the background to these is difficult, however doing so broadens my perspective.
  I feel that the major difference between the people working in Taiwan and the people working in Tokyo is the attention to communication. Here in Tokyo I am learning to proceed with my work utilizing polite, detailed communication. As a foreigner working in a Japanese company, I am blessed with the opportunity to meet people from various countries and have many opportunities to develop a better understanding of different cultures. I spend every day here with a desire to gain a competitive advantage for myself in this global society in which various cultures should be understood and respected through international exchange.

  I originally envisioned going on to further study in the US, Singapore or Australia after graduating from high school; I only added Japan as my final choice of study destination. At the time, Japan was a very unique country to me. Although not a long distance away from my home country of Vietnam, I felt Japan's economic development and standard of living was overwhelmingly high compared to that of Vietnam and that the cultures of the two countries were completely different. Studying in Japan, a country with an unfamiliar language and culture, was the choice best suited to my spirit of challenge.

  I have an interest in the advanced technical capabilities of Japan, so I thought that I could study advanced technology in Japan.
  I'm slowly learning about technology every day and communicating in Japanese, so I feel myself growing.

  I first came to know of Japan in my elementary school days, as Japanese manga such as "Saint Seiya", "Dragonball" and "Doraemon" were really popular in my class. After entering junior high school, I began to play basketball inspired by the "Slam Dunk" manga series. I gradually became fascinated with the story of "Slam Dunk" and its characters, and hoped to be able to read the original Japanese version one day. Being able to read the original Japanese version and understand the nuances and the personality of the characters that cannot be expressed or conveyed in the translation makes the manga all the more interesting and enjoyable.
  Now there are various genres of manga lined up on my bookshelves including "One Piece", "Major" and "Kuroko's Basketball", which I enjoy reading when I have free time during my commute or on the weekends. I have realized my little dream.

  Tokyo is a cosmopolitan city where we can find new fashion, technology and culture, and by taking in such things, I can gradually improve my lifestyle.

  

• 

  

  

  I have emigrated to and lived in many different cities until now.
  There is not one city that I have disliked and I think that is because I have enjoyed many nice encounters in each city. Tokyo may be the world's most attractive city in this sense. I love the Japanese saying of "Ichigo Ichie" (meaning "Treasure every encounter, for it will never recur."), and I think that "encounters" are one of our greatest privileges. So I may want to continue to live in this exciting city full of innumerable encounters.

  I longed for Japan since I was a child and liked the idea of living in a fashionable room and riding a bicycle through the city like in a drama.
  Although I was initially very anxious when I finally came to Japan for a working holiday, I managed to get a part-time job offer from the company I now work for. I now work in the design industry I love and the products I have designed can be seen in TV commercials and in stores; I'm so happy that I could cry.
  My work is interesting every day and I also have many things I want to do on the weekend—my life in Japan is so fulfilling that it's like I'm living in a dream. I've also become fully independent living by myself in Tokyo away from my family. I feel as though I'm living life my own way.

  

• 

  

  

  I have always had a deep interest in Japan since my days as a student, influenced by my family and the surrounding environment. I also like big cities and fell in love with Tokyo, a modern, stylish city full of diversity, the first time I visited here.
  Japan is another Asian country with a culture similar to that of my homeland, and I experienced very little culture shock when visiting here. That's what triggered me to start studying Japanese.
  I came to Tokyo wanting to broaden my horizons while working and with the idea that if I continued to live here I could gain experience I couldn't obtain in my homeland and I could meet people from all over the world.
  My daily life here in Tokyo is full of challenges and every day feels like a new day.

  

• 

  

  

  I decided to work in this creative city of Tokyo, thinking that I would be able to obtain a great deal of experience and inspiration that would prove useful in my homeland in the future.

  I studied in Tokyo and had always longed to live there, but a job opening presented itself in Nagoya and I ended up working there for 10 years. However, wanting to live and work in Tokyo, I eventually quit that job and found new work with my current employer in Tokyo.
  I have already succeeded in the first step of finding a job in Tokyo, and I will keep doing my best here to aiming for further growth.

  

• 

  

  

  I think that working in Tokyo presents many challenges as well as opportunities to grow from them.
  I deal with both Japanese and foreign customers in my current job, and the way of interacting with them differs; while seniors at the company teach me the proper customer service to afford to our Japanese customers, I have to consider how to deal with foreign customers by myself. I think I can leverage my past knowledge and experience and learn many things. It's a major challenge and sometimes I feel a little timid. However it is something for me to face on my own which provides an opportunity for growth. The foreign business department of my company is a relatively new department, and I think being a founding member developing this department will help my career.
  I love Japan, so I get to experience the things that I like every day while living here. I'm happy that I'm able to enjoy my favorite music, TV and anime whenever I like.

  

• 

  

  

  Working in Tokyo is associated with a lot of difficulty and stress, however this is not the case in reality. I enjoy the different challenges I face every day and I feel really confident and proud when I am able overcome these challenges and grow.
  As Japanese is not my native language, I have to be inventive when making presentations to clients so that they are able to acquire an image of the information that I am trying to convey.
  People from different regions in Japan such as Kanto and Kansai also have different cultures and customs, and I think that it's interesting being able to absorb these cultures and customs.

  

• 

  

  

  Tokyo is one of the world's biggest cities in which I can meet people of various ethnicities, experience various things and learn of the latest trends before anyone else. It is a city in which I can endlessly grow and challenge myself, and that's why I chose to live and work here.

  

• 

  

  

  I want to become a talented person who can play a part on a global scale. I decided to come to Japan to study after I graduated high school in China. I then went to a Japanese language school in China, and a year later, I got accepted to a university in Japan. After I graduated from university, I decided to work in Japan. I want to become someone who can be adaptable not only in China or Japan but on a global scale, and I also want to contribute to the globalization endeavors of my company. To be able to gain knowledge, of course, depends on me, but our surroundings can have a significant effect on the results.
  There are many opportunities in Tokyo, and I can broaden my perspectives through communicating with people from different countries and understanding different values.

  When I was a university student, I wanted to study in Japan one day because of the advanced technology and architecture in Japan.
  Out of all places, I was interested in Tokyo as not only the capital of Japan but also as a world-leading city. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a scholarship and had given up on studying in Japan, but I never lost interest in Tokyo.
  While working for SOFTFRONT Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh, I had an opportunity for a three-month training in Tokyo and there, I met some hard-working, devoted and outstanding engineers. When I saw the exceptional quality of the products made in Japan, I had begun to hope to work in Tokyo one day. After I returned to Ho Chi Minh and gained some experience, I found an opportunity to be transferred to the parent company in Tokyo in August 2015. At first, I faced some difficulties in adjusting, but now, I can appreciate the stimulating work environment from working with outstanding engineers. I believe that as long as we continue to work hard and not give up, we can realize anything. I hope to see you challenge yourself as well. I’m cheering for you.

  I want to let those who are thinking of working in Tokyo that it’s a place full of opportunities. You can take an active part in many fields, such as the IT, manufacturing and service industry. Since I was in high school, I imagined building relations between my country and Japan through manufacturing and I realized my dream as a manager here in Tokyo.

  

• 

  

  

  I studied in Shizuoka for four years when I first came to Japan after which I thought to myself "where should I find work?" It was then I had the chance to come to Tokyo for the first time. I enjoyed myself in Tokyo and felt happiness seeing the smiles on everyone's faces wherever I went. It was this happiness I experienced during my first visit to Tokyo that ultimately led to my decision to live and work here.

  

• 

  

  

  Tokyo seemed like it was full of many interesting things, and that is the reason I chose to work here in order to realize my goal of "expanding my narrow world" I had set prior to coming to Japan. To realize this goal I think I need to meet people who have lived in a totally different environment to me as well as encounter new things I haven't been able to experience before. I thought that Tokyo, which provides an environment in which I can learn about state-of-the-art technology and is a city that people of various backgrounds call home, would be the place where I could achieve my goals.

  I majored in accounting in a university in Japan and when I was looking for a job, I wanted to find a job in accounting as well as a job where I can use my Japanese language skills. I’ve been in Tokyo ever since I came to Japan, and I decided to look for a job mainly in Tokyo based on how it’s a convenient and easy place to live.

  

• 

  

  

  Tokyo, with all its attractiveness, does not let adventurers get bored of the place. We can enjoy the four seasons, and there are modern towns that reflect the future. It is an exciting city where we can find new world trends and information.
  
  Most of all, we can enjoy the "game of life" with the numerous individualist friends we can make here.

  

• 

  

  

  Opportunity is a time that comes before everyone provided they are wise enough to see it. I knew Tokyo was where I would find my opportunity to grow in terms of both career and personality. Learning the language, customs and meeting people hailing from diverse backgrounds was indeed eye opening. People in the office hold a plethora of experience which helped understand what and where I need to be 5-10 years down the line. The job, not being monotonous, opened up new experiences every day and I was able to align myself with the culture of a Japanese firm.
  On a personal level, I spend my free time actively exploring the city and understanding the rich history that has shaped the country and its people. In this age of technology I am able to connect easily with people and this has helped garner knowledge in the opportunities available to them and how they navigate through their choices, from academia to their professional lives.
  In a few months I hope to become fluent in Nihongo thus being able to work overseas and liaise with Japanese colleagues on new trends and technology in the market.

  

• 

  

  

  Think and act extreme! It's better to challenge difficult things at work rather than master the simple things. I'll be happy to reach and go beyond the extreme. Will I discover a new part of myself? Will it be difficult without understanding Japanese? Being able to work in Tokyo has become a major source of encouragement for me.

  

• 

  

  

  People from around world come to Tokyo and we can come in contact with various cultures in Tokyo.
  We can learn how to apply the attentive Japanese customer service mindset.

  It was a big decision for me to stay in Tokyo. Most of my family members were back in Taiwan and Australia. However, I made the decision as I tried to look for a job in Tokyo after my exchange program in Sophia University. I wanted to work in Japan as they have the best reviews from many industries, Japanese people are very careful and are well-trained.
  So I researched into many companies and participated in different interviews. From a foreigner's percpective, there are many branches of international companies in Tokyo. Therefore, I went to different interviews. It was not easy for me, but I didn't give up. Dispite of the challenging condition, I believe that with my languages skills, my mullticultural background, I knew for certain that there will be a place for me somewhere in Tokyo. During the job hunting period, I tried to focus on mobile gaming as it was a thriving industry in Japan.
  In the end, I found the most suitable job for myself where I can use my language skills and multicultural background as well as my accounting and business knowledge in the field of entertainment. Overall, I think everyone will have a hard time finding the perfect job, but afterall, we are finidng a job in a foreign country, interviewing in a complete different language, it is normal to fail a few times.

  Since my student days, I have always wanted to start my own business. I had the chance to work in Tokyo and was surprised that there are many companies here that are over 100 years old.

  Tokyo is a great place to start a business, thanks to the ease of financing, developed legislative framework and various support provided to start-up businesses. I have been blessed to have encountered various people and succeeded in founding my own company.

Looking at them gives me new feelings and courage.

  I like nutritious and light tasting foods like seafood. Working in Tokyo, I think to myself while eating seafood that someday I would like to have depth like seafood and become a useful human being. Another great thing about seafood is that it's hard to get fat by eating it.

  I wanted to express Japan's cleanliness and modern image in a single word, so I chose "fresh".

  I began to study Japanese after entering university. I gradually learned not only Japanese, but also Japanese culture, and came to like the Japanese people. Sadly, China and Japan have had many disputes as a consequence of historical and political issues, however I hope that both countries can put this aside and pave the way for the future of Asia in the 21st century. So, I want to work in Tokyo for the sake of improved bilateral relations.

  The attraction to working in Tokyo is the “challenge”.
  More companies are located in Tokyo than any other city in Japan. Japanese people come to Tokyo from many different place and there are also many foreigners. Therefore, I like the attraction of being able to enjoy as well as challenge myself. To work in Japan, one must use Japanese. While there are still many things that I don’t understand, I am working very hard every day to increase my language proficiency.
  Many different types of people come to Tokyo and work together. At work, I don’t just work, but I also learn about language, cultural, and other differences. Something is happening every day, which I learn from and it is a lot of fun.
  Working in Tokyo is difficult, as is trying to understand things that are in a language and culture different to my own, but I’m still young and I have a very good learning ability. I believe I can earn precious experiences more by me living in Tokyo.

  In my opinion I think Tokyo is one of the must developed cities where someone can improve their own skills and the most important reason in that my wife is japanese so that is the most important for me

  A word I learned in university became a life concept when I moved to Japan from Germany. From working in Japan as a foreigner, I could gain a better understanding of my own culture as well as other cultures, and I could also acquire international experience. I hope to see people from Germany and other countries that love Japan, and Japanese people who love Germany build an international and cross-cultural world!

  I want to gain as much experience as possible.

  I am half-Japanese, and many of my close relatives live in and around Tokyo, so the city is very special to me. I wanted to come to the heart of Japan to reconnect with my family, my roots, and myself, while giving back to the country that helped raise me.

  The reason why I first came to Japan as a student is because I wanted to study Japanese. Even if I temporarily have other interests, my interest of Japanese is never-ending because, from the beginning, I wanted to have a better command of Japanese and I want to learn more from the standpoint of the fascination as a language. With any skill, the best way to improve is to be in an environment in which you must use that skill every day, and hence I will continue to work in Tokyo.

  The meaning of happiness differs according to each person, and for me, finding a place that I belong is one of them.
  I think a place where we belong isn’t just about the place itself but includes other factors, such as work, society, career, culture, friends and so on. And I found Tokyo as the place I belong.

  I think that Japan is a stimulating country but at the same time a conservative one. While Japan upholds its tradition, culture and history, it also seeks something new and creative all the time. It’s a highly creative country and also produces innovative ideas. I respect the attentiveness of the Japanese people and I am working in Japan because I want to learn Japan’s ability to produce world-leading products through its creativity and renowned ideas.

  I came to Tokyo in September 2013 with the initial intention of staying for only three months. I had a short contract working at a university and planned to spend time travelling in Japan after it had come to an end. Eventually, I decided that three months was not enough and made the decision to stay!

  At first, I ended up studying in Japan because my family lives here. After I graduated university, I gained some experience at a Japanese company, and I think that that experience will be beneficial to me when I start my own business.

  I studied Japanese in my home country and if I were to study abroad, I wanted to study in Japan, as the culture is closest to ours. I’ve been in Tokyo ever since I came to Japan so I thought that if I were to work in Japan, I’d work in Tokyo where there are many Japanese companies. I studied in Japan for five years and because I wanted to gain work experience in Japan, I decided to work for a Japanese company.

  There are still many new things and things I don't know; I want to discover them all. I want to challenge new things.

  Tokyo is a place where I can advance myself. It also allows me to find, display and express my abilities, as well as gives me the chance to let my hidden abilities be discovered and seen.

  Japanese culture is similar to Korean culture and I don’t feel much discomfort. I’ve been interested in Japanese music since I was in junior high school and it’s nice being able to go concerts and apply my IT skills I specialized in. Also, I like the food and fashion, so it’s a perfect place for me.
