Do I need to be fluent in Japanese?

Not necessarily. In Tokyo, many opportunities don't require Japanese language skills. However, the higher your level of Japanese, the more options become available to you.

Some jobs that don't require any Japanese are:

• English Teacher
• English Childcare Jobs
• Western Restaurants and Pubs
• English Tea Rooms
• German Beer Gardens
• Housekeeping
• Warehouse, Packing, and Sorting Jobs
• Factory Jobs
  
  
  If you don't know Japanese, you should be able to communicate in English. Without a sufficient level of proficiency in English and Japanese, finding a job in Japan can be challenging.
  
  Some of our pre-arranged jobs require basic conversational Japanese skills, such as Farmwork, Ryokan, and Ski Resort Jobs.
