Obviously, expat life in the UK goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow Japanese is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the British mentality and way of life. Japanese in the UK are a part of our community, calling cities such as Glasgow, Cardiff, London, and many others home. You can use 51ԹϺto look for fellow Japanese in London, for example.

Wondering where to shop for Japanese delicatessen, want to discuss your national team's latest match, or simply talk to someone in your native language? Become a member of the British 51ԹϺCommunity!

  • Our network is the best place to meet expats from Japan.
  • On the the UK Expat Forums, you can get competent answers to all your expat-related questions: how to find a babysitter fluent in your mother tongue, where to get sushi and sashimi in London, etc.
