Which phase it can suit

What Tokyo can suit.

Reliable infrastructure makes it easy to work with few interruptions.

The time zone has little overlap with Europe or the US, which makes it better for asynchronous work than for many live client calls.

  • Focus Few distractions, long deep-work blocks, scaling what works.
  • Adventure New experiences while the business keeps running.

Practical checklist

Before you move to Tokyo.

  • Internet and backup

    Test the connection where you will actually work in Tokyo, and have a backup: a local SIM with data, a second network or a coworking space nearby.

  • Coworking and community

    Find a coworking space or community before you arrive. Other builders keep you sharp and make a new place feel like home faster.

  • Safety per neighbourhood

    Safety differs per neighbourhood in every city. Research the specific area you will live and work in, not just the city.

  • Flights

    Check direct and one-stop connections to where your clients, friends and family are, so a visit or an urgent trip stays easy.

  • Rules for staying

    Check the official visa and residence rules for your nationality before you book. They differ per passport and change over time.
