✌️My first month at a Japanese IT company
Meet Aray again, Batch 6 graduate 👋 A month ago, she moved to Tokyo, and with the move came a career shift, switching from frontend to a fullstack role.
Now she's back with an update! Watch the video for her real take on onboarding, mentorship, diving into AWS, and studying Japanese 🎥She also shares her everyday life in Japan on Instagram — moving costs, a home tour, and how she got her husband and cat to Japan with her! #relocation_case #life_in_Japan
| 2 | 🇯🇵 Do I need N2 to get a work visa in Japan?👇
In April 2026, Japan's immigration authority tightened how it reviews visa applications involving language ability. Naturally, this raised a big question for engineers: does this mean I now need N2 Japanese to work here?
We asked our legal advisor to break down what's actually changed.
In April 2026, the immigration authority tightened how it reviews this status. No law changed, this is a change in what documents smaller and mid-sized employers (immigration Categories 3 and 4) must submit with applications filed from April 15.
Our reading is that the standard applies to the job, not the person: it targets roles centered on dealing with people in a language, like translation/interpreting or hotel reception. Purely technical work appears to fall outside this scope.
We've already tested this directly: one engineer was hired from overseas and placed, and another renewed their visa, both with Japanese ability around N5 — both cases processed after the tightened guidance took effect. Neither was asked to demonstrate Japanese proficiency, and both proceeded on the strength of their technical role alone.
What matters at renewal is what the work actually involves. If the engineer keeps doing the work they were hired for, renewal shouldn't be affected — only a shift toward duties built around communicating with people like sales, client-facing coordination, interpreting, which would warrant a second look.

| 3 | 🇯🇵 Batch 9 Is Open!
Applications close September 10, 2026. It's free to join. Before you apply, here's exactly what the program includes, who it's for, and answers to the two questions engineers ask us most.
👉 Apply now 👈
Here's what's included:
• Free 6-month online Japanese course — starts from zero, and goes beyond language into Japanese workplace culture and communication norms
• CV and interview prep, tailored specifically for Japanese employers
• 2-week trip to Japan (Izumo), accommodation covered — meet real CTOs and engineers, and pitch your work at a hackathon
• Relocation support once you get an offer — visas, paperwork, settling in — plus a built-in Eastern European community who's already been through it all. Add real connections with local residents and employers in Shimane, and you're landing into a network, not starting from scratch. And yes, we know how to have a good time here too 😄
📍Please note: we can't promise a job — that depends on your interviews and company fit. What we promise is real preparation and real access to Japan's IT market.
Who can apply:
Engineers with a degree in IT, math, or physics, English B2+, and relevant experience. ITPEC certificate or 10+ years of IT experience also works.
2 things engineers usually wonder about before applying:
🤔 "I don't speak Japanese — do I even need it? Is everything in Japanese?"
Nope, not at the start. The 6-month course covers the basics you'll need for daily life and the workplace. Interviews happen in English or Japanese depending on the company, but we translate and guide you through every step — you won't be left to sort it out alone.
🤔 "What if I'm not skilled enough? What if my CV or experience won't cut it?"
You don't need to be exceptional — you need real, solid experience, and we help you present it right. Japan has a serious shortage of strong IT talent, and companies are actively looking abroad. We prepare you for exactly how they hire — reworking your CV so it lands, prepping you for their interview style, and setting realistic expectations. And it's completely free for you — we get paid by the hiring company once you're placed, not by you.
👉 Apply now 👈
We review manually — expect a reply within 1–2 business days.

| 4 |  +3🚗 A Toyota Soarer, a Japanese auction site, and a Team Lead job in Izumo — Sergey's story
Sergey had spent more than a decade in IT, most recently as Head of Development at an international MedTech company while living and working remotely from Thailand, and Japan had always felt like a distant dream because he assumed fluent Japanese was the only way in.
After going through Batch 3's selection process, a six-month Japanese language course covering corporate work culture and communication, and a hackathon in Japan, Sergey ended up with two job offers and chose SAMI Japan, a company owned by the same founder as hello, yaponiya itself, and now works as Team Lead, splitting his days between Russian, English, and Japanese.
He's been living in Izumo for almost two years now, and outside of work he tracked down a Toyota Soarer with its iconic 1JZ-GTE engine and manual transmission through a Japanese car auction, a car that turned into an unexpected bridge into the local community.
👉 The full story goes deep on the actual projects he's built, what a typical day at SAMI Japan looks like, and how one auction car turned into road trips and a whole car community: link to Telegraph
⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is the kind of story Batch 9 could turn into for you!
🗓 Applications open on August 10.
If 2026 is the year you finally do something about that "what if I moved to Japan" thought — this is your sign!
#relocation_case | 1 495 |
| 5 |  +2My hackathon feedback caught a CEO's attention!
At the hackathon, Aray, one of our Batch 6 participants, had the chance to try out a test product from one of the sponsors and share her honest feedback on it. That feedback got noticed by a big Tokyo company's CEO himself, and she was invited to her first interview soon after.
Just a couple of days ago, she relocated to Japan with her husband and their kawaii cat 👀
Her Japanese was still at an early N5 level, so the entire hiring process happened in English. It was long and involved several stages, but Alina-sensei and Anatoly from the hello, yaponiya team supported her closely, making the whole path feel much easier than it could have been.
She's now a Middle Software Engineer working on the backend at a Tokyo-based digital consulting and app development company. The job is mostly remote.
Aray had visited plenty of countries, but Japan in 2024 hit differently. Love at first sight! The cleanliness, the order, the quiet, the respect for personal space — it all added up. Not long after, she learned about our program, and from there everything moved fast!
She and her husband started preparing for the relocation with both of their cats. Sadly, one cat wasn't able to fly with them 💔
💬 Aray’s advice for future participants:
"Huge thanks to the organizers for building an environment where you can truly show your potential and meet real employers. Izumo left a big mark on me too! It'll always stay close to my heart. Never underestimate programs like this! They give you a genuine chance to showcase your skills and connect with employers."

| 6 |  +4In 2024, Alina — our Japanese teacher — shared how she fell for calligraphy at a cozy little school here in Izumo, studying under 93-year-old Tanaka Sensei, who's spent 60+ years mastering the art.
Two years on, she's still learning from him. But this time, Tanaka Sensei stepped in to help her run her own calligraphy workshop: 「書く。感じる。日本文化」, for international residents living in Izumo. Alina put it together with Izumo City Hall, with a group of students from Izumo Commercial High School joining in as assistants.
People from different countries came together, and for almost everyone, this was their first time ever holding a brush. The workshop was a chance to slow down and actually feel something through brush, ink, and paper — getting a little closer to understanding Japanese culture along the way.
We went through the basics — tool names, and practiced three basic brush movements:
• tome — stopping the brush with control
• hane — flicking it upward
• harai — releasing it in one long sweep
Then each person wrote a word that means something to them.
When you write a word with a brush, you end up spending real time with it. What does "freedom" mean to us? What kind of beauty do we see in "sakura"? What feeling comes up when we write "heart"?
As Alina says: "I'm still not sure what a perfect first calligraphy experience is supposed to feel like. But I want students to feel the softness of the brush, breathe in the smell of the ink, and get a little swept up in the whole aesthetic of the stationery — and maybe end up loving Japan a little more."

| 7 | 🏡 This is SAMI House: the traditional Japanese home where our community actually lives.
Batch participants live here for two weeks during the program. Our engineers stay here temporarily while we look for their own apartment. And friends of our community, from every country and background, come through here too.
One day you might meet a researcher preparing for a talk at Oxford University. Another day, you're chatting with a vice-president from the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies. And another day, you run into a Japanese Olympic open water swimmer having tea in the kitchen.
Our house just attracts amazing people, and this time it was the Batch 7 engineers who lived here. Put a group of engineers under one traditional roof, and things happen that were never on the plan.
The result is a video about life at SAMI House. Behind the camera: Haruki Mogi, one of our community members. In front of it: the Batch 7 engineers, and Alina-sensei — house manager, cultural keeper, and Japanese teacher on our program — simply living their everyday life at the house.
Alina-sensei once talked about what she really wanted people to feel at SAMI House — the delicacy of Japanese culture, that subtle feeling the Japanese call mono no aware, and the warmth of the people gathered there. She wanted anyone new who walks through the door to take care of the house on their own, without being asked.
Haruki took her words and turned them into a video.
He tied it together with a line from Naruto:
"People become truly strong when they have something important they want to protect." — Haku
For Haruki, that something was SAMI House itself, and everyone inside it.
👉 Watch it, and meet our community a little closer!

| 8 |  +9The karaoke was great! But here's what they actually built 👇
Hack Yakumo is the international hackathon we run as part of every batch — our engineers team up with developers from Japan and other countries to tackle real challenges from local companies and city governments. This time, the brief came from the City of Matsue itself.
Matsue has been drawing growing international attention since "Bakebake" — a major NHK drama inspired by Lafcadio Hearn, a writer deeply tied to this region — began airing in 2025. The city wants that momentum to last, but the right information still isn't reaching foreign visitors or residents. That gap became the brief.
Hack Yakumo 2026 brought together engineers from Japan, Russia, Kazakhstan, India, and Indonesia to work on it. Five teams presented. Two won.
🥇 Gold — "Matsue Mate" A single app for foreign residents covering waste sorting, administrative processes, and healthcare support. Built with Nodeblocks, Node.js, React, TypeScript, and Express. Judges called it simple, practical, and immediately usable — one noted that it tackles exactly the kind of everyday friction that foreign residents in Japan run into, with a design that feels warm and approachable.
🥈 Silver — "Yokai Road Shimane" GPS and AR bring Lafcadio Hearn's stories and Shimane's yokai folklore to life as you walk through the real locations behind them. Built with Nodeblocks, Node.js, React, TypeScript, and MongoDB. One judge called it: "yokai is Matsue's content, and nobody else's."
After the presentations, the Mayor of Matsue joined the networking reception — congratulated the teams, answered their questions, and spent real time with the engineers who had worked on his city's problems for two weeks. (That's him in photos 2 and 3 👆)
NHK covered it too 📺 (in Japanese): https://news.web.nhk/newsweb/na/nb-4030024921
Send the teams some 🔥🔥🔥
All five teams earned it!

| 9 |  +9We've been off the radar for a few weeks — not because nothing was happening, but because everything was happening at once 😅
Here's what we were up to: Batch 7 just wrapped up two weeks in Izumo — and if you think a small regional city in Japan sounds quiet, Izumo would like a word!
Six engineers from Russia and Kazakhstan came to work on real challenges set by the City of Matsue, and ended up getting a full picture of what living in Japan outside the big cities actually looks and feels like. Quiet it was not!
🏢 Inside four Japanese tech companies
The group visited four local companies who opened their doors for honest conversations about products, engineering culture, and what it's actually like to work in Japan's regions. These visits tend to shift something for participants: Japan's tech industry stops being an abstract idea and starts feeling like a real place you could work.
🎌 Everything else that makes Izumo, Izumo
The programme made sure there was more to the two weeks than laptops and whiteboards. Tea ceremony 🍵, calligraphy 🖌️, an onsen ♨️, a kimono fitting 👘, a takoyaki party 🐙, nomikai at a local izakaya 🍻 — and karaoke. Several times. The engineers apparently discovered karaoke early in the trip and saw no reason to stop 🎤😂
The two weeks went fast. We're already missing this batch 🥹
The hackathon story is coming up next 👇

| 11 |  🇯🇵 Two more engineers from Batch 6 have arrived in Izumo!
Meet Nikita, Full-Stack Developer (Go + Vue), working on a gaming platform around online games and digital entertainment.
And Viktor, Backend Developer (Java), who joined a Japanese tech company focused on large-scale flash-sale e-commerce and curated online shopping.
And yes, yesterday the guys had a very Japanese onboarding moment: a local police officer came by to say hello 👮♂️— and even brought some sweets as a welcome gift.
It’s part of the standard settling-in process here. He explained how safety works in the area — who to call, what to do during natural disasters, and where to bring lost items. He also made sure they knew him personally, so they’d feel comfortable asking for help if anything happens.
Welcome to Izumo 🎉
#relocation_case | 1 411 |
| 12 |  So, what does it actually cost to live in a small town in Japan?💰
Maria and Alexander, who moved to Izumo last May through our program, shared a rough breakdown of their monthly expenses — you can see it in the video (their blog is in Russian, and so is the video — but we’ve added English subtitles in the comments).
Like anywhere, it really depends on your lifestyle and the city you’re in. Some months are quite low-key, others are more expensive (especially when you’re buying things for your home or clothes). Day-to-day costs like utilities, groceries, and transport also change from month to month.

| 13 |  +4Nikita from Batch 6 shared his feedback on the program, and we’re excited to share it with you too 👇
Why Japan?
It all started with anime. I got hooked on one series that ended out of nowhere — no continuation, nothing. But it had a light novel as the original source… and no translations.
So the only option was to learn Japanese.
That was five years ago. Today I’m around N3, and somewhere along the way, Japan stopped being just an interest and became a real goal.
I discovered hello, yaponiya! through online communities. When I saw Batch 6 was open, I applied — and got accepted a month later.
Now Nikita is preparing for his move to Izumo, and in just a couple of weeks we’ll be welcoming him here 🇯🇵

| 15 | What does a normal workday in Japan look like
When people imagine working in Japan, they often think in stereotypes. But once you look at real people’s routines, the picture becomes much more nuanced.
So we asked 4 developers from our community in Japan to share what a regular workday looks like for them.
📍Dmitry, Tokyo
Works at Toyota’s software and mobility company, building next-generation technology, platforms, and tools for future mobility.
I work in a hybrid format: 3 days a week in the office and 2 remotely. Officially, my working hours are from 8–9 a.m. to 5–6 p.m., with a one-hour lunch break.
In reality, things are much more flexible. Some people come in at 11 and leave at 8, others work remotely more often. It probably depends on the team lead or manager, but overall it is easy to agree on a different schedule or a different number of office days per week.
We also have a time tracker, but most people just fill it in afterwards for several days at once, so nobody seems too stressed about it. I personally prefer to log my hours properly as I go 🙂
I work in a toolchain team. Our job is to provide development tools for other teams and, potentially, external users as well.
Most of my work is sprint-based, and I do not have that many meetings — usually around 1–2 hours a day. My routine is fairly structured: first I check work chats and emails, then help users with support requests, do code reviews, and only after that move on to my own tasks.
I work in an international company, so people come from different countries and English is the working language. That makes the environment quite comfortable. At the same time, 4 out of 6 people on my team are from Russia, so in daily communication I actually speak Russian more often than English.
The atmosphere feels comfortable and trust-based. I can take ownership of decisions and show initiative, but at the same time there is no pressure to constantly prove myself. I can simply do my work well, and that is completely fine too.
Overtime is not really part of the culture here, so I have enough time for hobbies and life outside work. And if someone finishes earlier and leaves earlier, that is not treated as a problem either.

📌 Working in Japan can look very different from person to person — just like anywhere else, it depends on your company, your projects, your city, and the kind of life you build around work.
What is the work culture like in your company right now?

| 16 | 🇯🇵 Ready for Japan? Batch 8 Is Now Live!
The deadline to join is March 24.
If your goal for 2026 includes working as a developer in Japan, now’s the time to apply!
We’ve already helped 40+ engineers relocate with their families, with most settling in Shimane Prefecture. Some joined with N5, some with higher levels — Japanese isn’t a barrier if you’re committed to learning it seriously.
● Here’s how the process works:
We review your application, schedule an intro call, talk through your goals and experience, assess your English language level, and decide together whether this path makes sense.
● And what do you get if selected:
• You’ll go through a 6-month online Japanese course, receive CV and interview preparation, and get direct access to job opportunities across Japan.
• You’ll also take part in a 2-week tech & culture trip to Japan (Izumo), with your accommodation fully covered (see the accommodation photos here). During this immersion, you’ll explore Japan’s regional tech scene, meet CTOs, CEOs, and engineers, and join a hackathon where you pitch real-world projects to potential employers.
• And once you receive an offer, we support you through the relocation process, from visa paperwork to settling into daily life.
📍Please note: employment isn’t guaranteed. Final decisions always depend on your interviews and company fit. Our role is to prepare you, support you, and connect you with real opportunities.
Who can apply:
Developers with a university degree in IT, mathematics, or physics, English level B2 or higher, and relevant work experience. If you don’t hold a degree, you can still apply with an ITPEC certificate or 10+ years of official IT work experience.

| 17 | This video about Izumo was created by Shoji Goto — a filmmaker and one of the SAMI People 🎥
Here’s the English version of what’s being said in the video:
What really matters can’t be seen with your eyes.
When you give your time to something, it slowly becomes precious.
Don’t forget that.
The things you truly care about are the things you’ve connected with — heart to heart.
The stars feel beautiful because somewhere out there, hidden from sight, there’s a single flower.
Thank you.
Whether it’s the stars, or my old home…
the beauty doesn’t come from what you can see.
It comes from what you can’t.
You have to look with your heart.
And when you let your heart connect, you might end up crying a little.
Because the most important things are invisible.
At night, you look up at the stars.
Everyone has their own stars.
And you… you know the laughter of the stars that are yours.
For me, this is the most beautiful view in the world —
and the one I treasure the most:
my hometown, Izumo. | 1 733 |
| 18 |  +7When Makino-san, our founder, first started talking about connecting global IT talent with regional Japan, the vision felt bold and long-term 🌏
He imagined engineers coming to Izumo and becoming part of everyday local life — not only working here, but sharing space, culture, conversations, and responsibility with the community around them.
Today, if you walk into SAMI House — a renovated traditional Japanese home turned into an international coliving space — you might hear three languages in the kitchen. Someone is debating architecture patterns over tea. A local calligraphy teacher is explaining the meaning behind the kanji on the house signboard.
Near Izumo Station, a coworking space became a meeting point for companies exploring the region. Hackathons turned into real hiring decisions and helped regional Japanese companies see international teams in a new way. Researchers from Tokyo University of Foreign Studies joined the journey, turning the idea of multicultural coexistence into something practical and lived.
▶️ This is how the idea of SAMI People took shape — through people choosing to trust one another.
• There’s the engineer from our very first hello, yaponiya! pilot batch who now shares his experience and helps others understand whether regional life in Izumo feels right for them.
• There are developers who brought real local challenges into hackathons and stayed as long-term collaborators.
• Local residents who guided newcomers through everyday cultural details no relocation checklist can teach.
• Japanese partners who chose to launch projects here because they believed in where the community was heading.
Although Izumo is the starting point,
the community extends far beyond it.
It stretches between Tokyo and regional towns, across Japan and overseas, connecting companies, universities, engineers, and families — people who care about building bridges between Japan and the world.
SAMI People continues to grow quietly — through contribution, trust, and the decision to build something meaningful together.
For those considering hello, yaponiya!, this is the wider context. Relocation is one chapter. Becoming part of a living, evolving community is something deeper and longer-term. If this speaks to you, you may already feel that pull!
🗓 On February 24, we launch Batch 8 of the program. Don’t miss the announcement — and make sure to apply!
