This is a concise guide for non-Japanese Speakers who are moving to a small/middle-sized city in Japan for the long term. The goal of this article is to show you what to expect, and to be a guide for setting up the things you’ll need day-to-day. I am writing another article for Japanese speakers who may be helping you out. I hope these articles help both sides get through this exciting but stressful time – of moving to a new country where you do not yet speak the dominant language.
I am focusing this article on Nara, where I live. It might be a bit different if you are moving to a big city like Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, or smaller cosmopolitan cities like Kyoto.
