I was considering Japan to work and live, seems clean, the people mind their own business and their population is declining and so is the economy. My background is in the trades, electrical, carpentry, plumbing, heavy equipment operation, HVAC-R, I'm curious what are the opportunities in these areas?
It’s very pleasant living here, Japanese culture is very polite and respectful. Most people keep to themselves. It’s true that the population is declining it will never go to negative though. In i think 20-30 years it will level out unless something happens. Lots of pain until then though Lots of room for the trades here, similar to western countries most people pursue white collar jobs leaving a shortage in tradesmen. A popular business that you could set up here in the trades could be re-furnishing “Akiya” houses. The abandoned ones that you can buy really cheap. Foreigners are buying them and turning them into Airbnb’s. You would have to learn Japanese and probably get some new licenses though.
@@YonderPreneur Thank you for the quick reply. Is the Japanese government offering any incentives to attract migrants or visa workers or is this more of a market driven phenomenon, no regional desire to occupy this, Akiya homes?
There has been no incentives given by the government at this point just a purely market driven thing. Lots of remote workers like the idea of living cheaply in Japanese country side.

Many men who move to Japan can't find a woman in their own country so they move to Japan to find a woman.
@@Spacemonkeymojo I have heard that is true. But I think if you can’t find a girl in your own country you’ll still struggle in other countries also.
Japan didn’t need anymore white men
