The Japan Information Network (JIN) is a information resource for people living in Japan or who are thinking about living in Japan. The information is accurate to the best of my knowledge. However, life is a continually changing affair and what is accurate today may very well be off the mark tomorrow. Moreover, the information presented in this web page was compiled by human beings who from time to time make mistakes (though we rarely admit it).
Much of the information presented here relates to living in Tokyo. Of course, I am aware that gaijin live in other Japanese cities besides Tokyo and where ever possible I tried to include information for other cities as well. It doesn't take much guesswork to say that the majority of foreigners live in Tokyo, the largest city in Japan and one of the largest in the world.
If you find any inaccuracies, or have information to add to this, a related web site, an interesting anecdote about life in Japan, comments, criticisms, etc. please contact me via e-mail at pbearpro@bekkoame.or.jp or by mail:
