So, I'm moving to Japan next week. It was kind of an impulsive decision. I don't know any Japanese or have any idea how they operate culturally. What should I bring with and what do I need to know about the culture so I can assimilate without humiliating myself or hurting people's feelings?

Japs never accept foreigners as their own. They'll be friends with you, they'll treat you like a human being, but you'll forever be known as "gaijin" (foreigner). Even if your children are born there to a Japanese women or man, they're considered foreigners. You'll always stick out like a sore thumb.

I don't know where to start to be honest. Learn the language, even if only the basics to start with (Japanese people are generally terrible at English). Japan is a society that's very different to the west socially, so maybe it would be good to look up blogs run by foreign people living in Japan, and read abut their day-to-day experiences to prepare for the type of situations you may run into.

I think it may be hard to feel at home without some sort of specific reason to want to go there and stay there. You don't seem have a reason now, but maybe you could find one? Do you have any interests? Try and see if there's something particular about Japan, Japanese culture or just anything really, to focus on and learn about. That way it might be easier to approach other things you may need to learn (socially structure, language), especially if you find it hard with the motivation. If not, try and make Japanese friends, perhaps, get emotionally invested that way.

As for things to take with you, I can only think of your favorite locals foods to start with (or find a way to import them at decent prices). When I was studying in Japan the food was a problem for me, not because it wasn't tasty, because Japanese restaurants are generally very good, but my body wasn't accustomed to eating such a different diet.

Don't walk on rushmats with shoes because you'll ruin them. Clean your bathroom weekly because mold will take it over otherwise. The cookers are different, so don't burn the house down. Get used to recycling. Bring your food to your mouth when eating, even if it means raising your bowl to your face, people think you look like a dog when you lower your head to eat your meal. Don't use a mobile phone on public transport. Always have your chop sticks facing a certain way, I forget which. People will think you're weird if you eat the skin on fruits. If a food comes in a wrapper, hold it by the wrapper. Don't put soy sauce on plain rice. There's billions of these little rules, I can't list them all.

Japanese homes are designed to be more space-efficient, so it's not exactly tiny or makes you feel constricted but it probably won't be as big as its US counterpart. Of course, I'm just speaking in general, and if you have the money you can always go for a big fancy house.

Not OP, but since these kind of discussions are usually hard to come by on /jp/ I'll ask some questions.

As a western chef myself, would it be pretty difficult to get a job relating to food in Japan? I love Japanese food myself and have made it countless times at home, while trying to dine at the most authentic restaurants when I can. This has peaked my interest recently since I read a book about a jewish man who moved to Japan, and built his own Ramen empire. He even sells an instant variety of his own, I guess because he was a gaijin it worked to his advantage.

That's my intention, but it's very hard to pick up a girl in Japan. Girls here like to go outside in all-female groups and it's impossible to separate one for some flirting. Internet is actually the best option for dating here. Already have a meeting with another girl this weekends.

Gomenasai, my name is Ken-Sama.

I’m a 27 year old American Otaku (Anime fan for you gaijins). I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. (Disgaea, Final Fantasy, Persona series)

I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100%

When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Studio Ghibli or a game designer!

I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in Japan!

Japan, Like America, prefers their prospective __LEGAL__ immigrants to possess a full, marketable 4-year college degree.

The most straightforward ways to get jobs in Japan:

1) Be a professional in a field where there is a skills shortage and preferably have decent Japanese ability.
2) Get an undergraduate or masters degree in Japan, be fluent or near fluent in the language and get a job like every other Japanese person.

>I'm thinking about getting into Accounting or Finance (or both...) and when I graduate get a job at a public accounting firm to get more experience and then see if I can transfer to Japan (I'm sure big name accounting or finance firms have overseas presence)

Here's the catch: There are all these little things that offend the Japanese, but only when the Japanese do them. If you're white you can damn near ALWAYS play the "gaijin" card in your defense, especially if you're being dropped in the middle of Tokyo with no prior knowledge of Japanese culture.

If I were you I'd try and contact the American consulate, hook up with some ex-pats, and try and learn from them. They can communicate in English, for starters. That'll help you out.

Aside from that, you said you've got money, so honestly you should be perfectly fine. My Japanese teacher was a white guy who flew to Tokyo in the 90's to start over, didn't speak a lick of Japanese, survived by eating the ends of bread. (called 'heels', most bakeries cut them off throw them out so you can get literal garbage bags of them for free) I think you have much better resources than he did.

I should also add that trying to fit in with them is one thing, but trying to BE Japanese is basically a no-no.

That's not to say that trying to follow their customs and rules isn't appreciated by them.
