  • Don't Move to Japan Until You're 40

    Don't Move to Japan Until You're 40
    Sep 15 2026

    Most people come to Japan chasing a romanticized picture: anime shops, neon streets, and novelty. But when that novelty burns off, the reality of building an actual life as a permanent outsider sets in.

    In this video, I explain why moving to Japan might make far more sense at 40 than in your 20s. Like a veteran quarterback who has seen every defensive scheme, handling the isolation, the bureaucracy, and the subtleties of a homogeneous culture requires the patience and judgment that usually only come with age.

    We look past the shrinking prospects of basic English teaching, the shifting economic realities, and the common question of "What can Japan give me?" to ask the only question that matters for long-term survival here: What do you actually have to offer Japan?

    When you stop treating the country like an theme park and start approaching the community with intention, humility, and something real to give, the narrative flips. The barrier lowers, and you discover the quiet, steady warmth of a society that values what you bring to the room.
