Hello everyone,
I will move to Akita this year and while searching information about Japan, I've found this articles concerning the japanese society. What do you think about it? According to this article, it seems that Japan is quite a 'hard' destination for expat due to its cultural complexity. Is that true?
Here it is: "Isolation of Japanese Society":

What do you think about this as an expat in Japan?

Hey awvn, how are you?
It is an interesting read, however, don't let this discourage you. I'd suggest you try making yourself some friends through the forum and you could also learn Japanese (if you don't already know the language) to make things easier for you when you move to Akita.
Maybe these suggestions could help?
Do take care,
Haf
