HOW HARD IS IT FOR AN AMERICAN TO MOVE TO JAPAN?

Michael Machida Career Search Consultant Tokyo, Japan

You know, I was sitting with a friend the other day—one of those long, rambling conversations where you’re both half-complaining, half-dreaming about life—and she said something that really stuck with me: “I don’t recognize America anymore.” And honestly… I felt that.

Maybe you’ve felt it too.

I mean, look around. Jobs are harder to find even when you’ve got years of experience. Medicare keeps getting pricier.

Food—don’t even get me started on food—some weeks I swear the grocery store is daring me to try living on instant noodles like I’m back in college. Healthcare? Ridiculous.

Buying a house?

Near impossible unless you’ve got a spare kidney to sell. And that federal minimum wage… $7.45 an hour? It’s almost embarrassing to even say it out loud.

And I’m not trying to get political here, but you can feel the tension in the air these days. The whole political landscape under the Trump administration has been shifting in ways that make a lot of people just… uneasy.

Some folks say it’s good, others say it’s bad, but almost everyone agrees that the country doesn’t feel the same.

Healthcare premiums continue to creep up, and the general vibe—at least from the people I talk to—is that life in America is kind of squeezing us from all sides.

So yeah, it’s not shocking that more Americans are quietly, or not-so-quietly, wondering:

“What if I left America?”

And before you roll your eyes—because I know, I know, everyone jokes about moving to Canada when things get weird—there actually is a legit path for people who are serious about starting fresh somewhere else.

There’s this company TheJEGroup! in Tokyo, Japan, and honestly they’ve become a kind of lifeline for people looking to relocate without feeling like they’re free-falling into the unknown.

They’ve been around since 1989—long before remote work, TikTok, and influencers made “starting over in another country” sound trendy.

And in all those years, they’ve helped over 4,500 global job hunters find new lives elsewhere. Real people. Real jobs. Real visas.

That’s the part that blew my mind when I first heard about them:
they don’t just help you dream about moving abroad:

...they actually help you get hired internationally with visa sponsorship.

Think about that for a second.
A job—an actual paying job—before you move. That’s the game-changer.

And here’s the crazy part:
You can choose where you want to go.

Like, imagine waking up one day and thinking, “You know what? I’ve always wanted to try life in Japan.” Cool. They’ve placed people there.

Feel like Italy’s pace fits your soul better? Great. That’s an option too.

England? Sweden? Canada? Australia? Singapore? Bali? Norway? France? Vietnam?

You can scroll down their list of locations like you’re choosing your next Netflix show. And if the country you’re dreaming about isn’t listed? As long as it’s within their global reach, they’ll check it out.

What I love about their whole vibe is that it’s not pushy or sales-y. I had a short chat with someone who used their service once (this was at a small café in Yokohama, actually—funny enough), and she said it felt more like talking to a friend who just happened to have a crazy amount of international job knowledge.

She’d been burned out in the U.S., packed up her life, and then—thanks to TheJEGroup! —she was living in Japan teaching at a tech academy and eating ramen that wasn’t in a Styrofoam cup.

She told me she laughed at herself the first few months because every morning she’d walk outside and think, “How did I actually pull this off?”

And that’s the thing: most people think moving abroad is basically climbing a mountain barefoot while juggling paperwork. But with the right guide, it’s just… step-by-step.

What hits me hardest is that a lot of Americans don’t really want to leave America—they just want a fair shake at building a life that isn’t impossible.

They want a job they can actually live on. Healthcare that doesn’t destroy savings. A political climate that doesn’t feel like a stress test. A life that’s… calmer. More balanced. Maybe even a little happier.

And sometimes, the way to get that is to take a leap somewhere new.

But even if you’re not American—seriously, it doesn’t matter. They help job hunters from everywhere.

Philippines, India, Brazil, South Africa, Germany, doesn’t matter. If you’re human and you need work abroad, they’ll talk to you.

That’s kind of refreshing in a world that loves to draw borders around everything.

If I’m honest, I think the hardest part for most people isn’t the move itself—it’s admitting they want something different.

There’s this weird guilt sometimes, like leaving the U.S. means you’re giving up or betraying something.

But it’s really not that at all. It’s just acknowledging that life is short, and the world is huge, and maybe there’s a version of your life out there that fits better than the one you’ve been struggling through.

And if you’ve read this far, maybe that thought has already crossed your mind.

So, why wait? (That’s actually their line, but hey, it fits.)

Seriously—if you’re even thinking about moving abroad, or if your job situation feels like a treadmill that’s speeding up while you’re trying not to fall on your face, reach out to TheJEGroup!

Just have a conversation. No pressure, no commitment, just a chat about where you are and where you want to be.

Sometimes one conversation is all it takes to realize you’ve got more options than you thought.

And maybe—just maybe—your next chapter is waiting somewhere you’ve only seen in pictures.
