Our Customer Reviews
I wanted to work remotely from Japan but the Digital Nomad Visa rules and non-resident situation scared me. JoynOne helped me understand exactly what life would look like without a residence card or local bank account, and then gave me practical solutions for housing, SIM/WiFi, and payments. Because of them, I could keep my overseas clients and still enjoy living in Tokyo for a few months without stressing over logistics.
Jessica Frisca
My partner got a job offer in Japan and I was terrified about the move: paperwork, where to live, healthcare, everything in Japanese. JoynOne walked us through the whole process step by step, helped us compare areas to live, set up phone and banking, and even explained all the letters we were getting from city hall. Having a team in Tokyo we could message anytime made a huge difference in our first months.
Kelvin Pander
I arrived in Tokyo with zero Japanese and honestly had no idea how to do city hall, insurance, bank, or phone. With the JoynOne Value Package, we went step by step: register address, get health insurance, open a bank account, set up SIM, and move into my share house. In one week, everything was done. If I tried this alone, I think I’d still be in the queue at city hall.
Alex Van Dever
The scariest part of moving to Japan wasn’t the flight, it was all the small things: where to live, how to sign a contract, what to do when letters arrive in Japanese. With the Value Package, JoynOne helped me choose a safe share house, came with me to city hall, explained every form, and even checked my first bills. I could focus on my new job while they handled the confusing stuff.
