ABOUT VISASHOGUN

We help you know what
to do next in Japan.

日本で、次にすべきことがわかる。

VisaSHOGUN is a guidance platform for foreign residents in Japan — visas, work, money, housing and everyday life, explained clearly and reviewed by a licensed administrative scrivener (行政書士).

VisaSHOGUNは、日本で暮らす外国人のための生活ガイドプラットフォームです。ビザ・仕事・お金・住まい・日常生活まで、行政書士監修のもとわかりやすく整理しています。

WHY WE EXIST

Life in Japan is complicated. We make it clear.

Rules change, procedures overlap, and it's rarely obvious what to do next — whether you're renewing a visa, changing jobs, or bringing your family to Japan. VisaSHOGUN exists to fix that: not just information, but a clear next step, every time.

日本での生活は複雑です。制度は変わり続け、手続きは重なり合い、次に何をすべきかが分かりにくいのが実情です——ビザ更新でも、転職でも、家族を日本に呼び寄せる場合でも。VisaSHOGUNは、情報を並べるだけでなく「次にすべきこと」をいつも明確にすることを目指しています。

WHAT VISASHOGUN OFFERS

Guides, tools, and a path to professional help.

Guides

Clear, practical guides on visas, work, money, family and daily life in Japan.

Free tools

Visa Check, PR Eligibility Checker and the HSP Points Calculator — understand your own situation in minutes.

Professional support

Every guide is reviewed by a licensed administrative scrivener (行政書士), and we connect you with professional help when your situation needs it.

OUR VISION

"Visa, life, money, work —
everything about living in Japan, all in one place."

「ビザも、暮らしも、お金も、仕事も。日本で生きるために必要な情報、ここに全部あります。」

We want VisaSHOGUN to be the first place foreign residents open when something in their life in Japan changes — a new job, a move, a marriage, a visa renewal. Founded in 2025, we're building toward that one step at a time.

外国人が日本での生活で何かが変わったとき——転職、引っ越し、結婚、ビザ更新——最初に開く場所になることを目指しています。2025年の設立以来、その実現に向けて一歩ずつ取り組んでいます。

Guides reviewed by a licensed administrative scrivener (行政書士). Content updated as Japanese rules change.
