For foreigners, it is difficult to get used to Japanese culture, where there are tatemae and honne, and where it is natural to read the air. Even among Japanese people, it is difficult to talk frankly with each other, so foreigners will find it even more difficult to communicate.


In addition, Japanese people in general tend to look at people with a filter of "Japanese or not Japanese," so some people are afraid of foreigners just because of their appearance. As a result, they are less likely to make noise or play in a group, which makes them feel more alone.


The important thing here is to promote interaction with Japanese people. Especially if you have found a job in a rural area, it is important to promote interaction with Japanese people in order to fit in and live in the community.


One opportunity might be to search for a place where you can interact with the local community association and local residents, and events such as festivals, and actively participate in the community.


Due to cultural differences, foreigners tend to be pushed into a situation where they are trapped in all directions, so it is important to make sure that those around them promote some form of backup. Simply providing opportunities for recreation and physical exercise with someone else can be a good stimulus for foreign personnel.


Let's expand your horizons and get out there to have fun in Japan and use your time in Japan!
