Our partner in Tokyo has two central share houses where you can rent a room at a very affordable rate. Just choose extra accommodation days during your booking. This gives you the chance to sleep off your jet lag, meet fellow backpackers, and join in social activities and language classes!

Our partner in Tokyo offers an extensive job data base, where you can find tons of money-making opportunities! During our partner’s job counselling sessions you will be well-prepared for your first application and interview. The team will also individually prepare your resume in the typical Japanese style. You want more job security? Book the job guarantee and you will be placed on a Japanese farm or in traditional ryokan before your arrival.
There are some jobs in Japan you won’t need any Japanese skills for, for example teaching English in language schools and also working for moving, security and cleaning companies. If you are looking for a job in tourism or hospitality or if you already have skilled Canadian work experience, then you will need at least basic Japanese skills to be hired for these positions.
For a running start into your professional life in Japan, we recommend our Gold Package, which includes 2 or 4 weeks of language lessons. This way, you will be well-prepared for your future professional career in Japan.
Our Gold package is the extra bonus you will need if you have never been to Japan, want more initial support after your arrival and if you are looking for the extra comfort and security of pre-arranged accommodation and a language course already included in your package.
Our Japanese partner in Tokyo will not only support you during your first days of arrival, but throughout the entirety of your stay in Japan. Simply walk in during office hours, give them a call or send them a message via email, on WhatsApp or LINE. There is also a 24/7 emergency support system in place.
