I think you've kinda went against yourself though. In your introduction, you said: "So in this video, I'm gonna show you guys what it's like to work in a Japanese office." And what was presented is not actually that. Sure the girl is lucky. Maybe if the title was "Day in the Life of a One-of-a-Kind Japanese Office Worker in Tokyo", it won't be that misleading. Haha As a more typical Japanese office worker, I just felt that the reality was misrepresented by this video.
@PaolofromTokyo can you please make a video explaining in detail how you were able to stay in Japan for so long? I want to move to Japan one day but I have no idea what to do...can you please explain how someone from the USA can move Japanpan, find a job and then atttain perminent residency? Can you also explain how this could be done if the person doesn't have a degree; isn't a student and may not be really good at speaking Japanese?
In one of his vlogs on his other account, he did once mentioned that his wife is actually behind recording those early morning scenes because he needs to be on the other side, to the transition train station.
I understand it's different in most other Japanese companies, but this company has it right for sure. If I was an employee at this company, I am sure I would strive for longevity there and appreciate the great working conditions they have. I think this naturally makes people work harder for the company, out of appreciation for the working environment. Very nice!
Yes! One of the things that stood out to me was the training period; I feel like it's so common in many companies to rush new hires to learn the ropes in a short amount of time and often without enough supervision/assistance. I understand that it's important to "be a self-starter" and learn on the job and all... but I think it's very important to give proper training if you truly want to help people become able to do more valuable work in the company. Well, maybe that's the problem: not enough companies actually care about contributing to their employees' professional development or see how important that is to the company's success. They just treat staff as disposable and end up with high turnover rates 🥲
No more work will be done. The body feels tired in the mind and dizzy. get hungry The family waits. Difficulty waiting to talk to a friend. No more work will be done from 12 o'clock. The same amount of work has to be done from 8 to 10 hours. Not much time. All people have concerns. There are many inquiries from foreign people who are worried about their families because they enjoy living in Japan. What is the government concern? The economy is slowly declining. Why? Foreigners may live, but foreigner's family may leave the country or move to another country.
Hahaha it's so true man, before the start of the video I was wondering which traditional company even allowed him to film. Turns out that it's the one that is even more progressive than the beanbag startups. Aside from that, I felt like the company really brought the best of both worlds, the manners and thoughtfulness of Japanese, without the culture of like staying late and all that. Of course, all is good in a film
@@ray13317 but then again usually they're set up like this so its easier to stay longer and work for a long time. My cousin works at a place that's real nice with even a fully stocked kitchen but like sometimes she works 14 hours there
_“Emi still lives with a family, which is a fairly common thing in Japan-even after graduating from university.”_ That's not only Japan but in all Asia in general.
One in a million for japanese workers? Shit, this is one in a million for practically anyone. I've never worked in an office that wasn't claustrophobic, stuffy and boring that didn't have me working late.
@@artyerty35 there are similar concepts here in the U.S. as well but they are few and far between. And clearly a lot of people still use the word progressive to describe an office work space.
tbh i thought this place looked a bit dull? Like the actual work desks need a bit more greenery I think. I work for an IT company in the UK and we have multiple modern kitchens in the building, gym + sauna and themed meeting rooms for group work.
Mate, its no different from any office Ive been in. People returning from holidays often hand out sweets and stuff to everyone, the open plan is quiet so people can work in peace.

Watching this video from my hotel room in Japan, had a long day travelling here, absolutely appreciate the people here, you are all doing amazing! Thanks for the video, Paolo!
Why is nobody talking about the bakery that is filled with food made by people with disabilities? And all the art in the building is made by them too. “ talent knows no handicap” Thats awesome 💖💖💖
This is 2023, January, the 26st. I've been enjoying many a different video from this series over the years. It's just SOOOO awesome to find older videos in the series. Paolo, my dude, You've created an awesome series, I don't feel I will ever not feel the excitement to learn about how stuff goes on in Japan with different people and their different jobs. I'm overwhelmed with feelings of gratefulness towards your work over the years sharing all this stuff, including your very intimate family, for the sake of all the viewers to enjoy. Cheers and I hope you read me and know you are appreciated. Cheers!
Times really flyby.. when I watched this video 5 years ago I was hoping to graduate from college and have job. Now I’ve married and was able to achieve some of my dreams. Crazy how small things like this video motivated me to be successful… appreciate you paolo and hope this lady is successful too
My friend worked there in a lab. He escaped after 4 months. He said it was awful, noone talked to each other, very sad and he felt depressed. He said it was first time in his life when in a new place he did not get to know a single person at work in 4 months...
@@olamarca7171 I worked in a Honda lab in Osaka as a chemical engineer, I had a BLAST!!! I got to play with "toys" and chemicals that most labs in the US wouldn't let a new grad touch with a 50 ft pole. It was definitely one of the best experiences of my professional career and encouraged me to stay overseas for work. But yes there are some places in Japan that were absolutely depressing (like our supply and logistics division they were all alcoholics), luckily it wasn't like that where I worked.
Let’s be real....the phrase “Thank you so much for coming is so early!” Could be taken two ways! One: she’s usually late given how much of a rush she’s in and Two: he’s genuinely just a friendly boss haha
I currently work for Pasona and am currently employed at the same building as Emi! We don't work on the same floor or department so we do not know each other well, but we interact a bit so we're friendly acquaintances! As I saw her in your video I thought to myself "Hmm, she looks familiar!" haha! It was cool seeing someone I know featured in your video!
@@alejandro1979x I've worked for Pasona for 4 years now but didn't interact with Emi in the beginning. I still don't work directly with her or in her department but I see her sometimes. I didn't see this video until this year so I was unaware of it. I just happened to find the video and see that the woman featured was someone who works in the same building as me.
That 'Kenshu' part is really much needed in any company fr. In my country, the employers expect u to to grasp everything u should know in just a day and if you dont do it right, you'll get scold.
burpolicious the numbers are increasing or so i heard. but definitely a rare breed of companies. as i mentioned, this particular company, Pasona is one of the large Jackpot one can land on. I know another company, Rakuten also has similar settings.
I'm currently working for a Japanese interior design firm for 4 years and I can definitely say a lot of offices we've designed in Tokyo are becoming more and more like this. I can't remember a time when we've designed an office that doesn't have a bar, open working spaces or some sort of gym.
I have seen similar buildings in Western office settings, but the general consensus among my peers and coworkers is that it is a form of 'employee capture'. Specifically, making offices feel like homes encourages salaried employees to contribute free overtime. Senior staff peer pressure prevents most employees from using it: "Real team players" won't "slack off".
I want to work in japan in like 4-5 years and I hope that the conditions will improve. I was worried about the way they handle work there. But seeing this video and your comment made me realize that it can only get better. I am learing japanese right now and I can speak 5 languages so I think I will find a job eventually until then=)
My company (in Canada) does weekly morning meetings about the company and its weekly progresses and such too, where the leads talk to the whole company and all the teams about what they're doing for the week and give encouragement, etc. We don't do it every morning (as you're saying is the traditional way here in the video) but it's considered progressive and inclusive to do this at all (in person, not in email). It's considered by the CEOs and stuff to give the company a more intimate and team-oriented feel, and to create cohesion and offer transparency for all the teams. It's just interesting that what is considered "new" and "progressive" in Canada is actually a *traditional* or even old _daily_ part of Japanese office culture.
I think it's one of those companies that are trying to adopt western silicon valley office vibe. Seen a few when I visited Korea, they try to move away from typical cubical environment which definitely is not typical.
During the good old days of Californian startups (like 2010s), the company I was working for had its own bar, food delivery, yoga instructor and crossfit, a car wash service and you could customize your cubicle with anything you wanted. I came across a guy who had beach sand under his desk bc he was"getting ready for his vacation". Also they had a kitchen in the middle of the office and they used to make waffles for breakfast. They were showers and washing machines too. And it was a company of maybe 80 ppl... I worked for another company where employees used to go surfing before arriving at the office... at like 10.30 or 11 am.
I think It's already a typical nation wide to have that kind of service in offices. Even the startup office that I work for right now has gym, shopping area, cafeteria inside the Central Business District Office Complex.
Hello Paolo, I wanted to thank you for sharing those videos that provide a great insight into Japanese culture. Your effort to showcase these to the world is much appreciated. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to create a video on Japanese university lecturers and teachers. Keep up the good work!
Wouldn't it be weird if a girl who works in a PR department presented an idea to the company to put their best face forward in a video that is mysteriously on track to be a 10x more popular video than was ever uploaded on this channel before? (4.6m views on "Average Japanese House - Inside the Home of a Typical Tokyo Family" in 1year compared to this video 1.8m views in 2 weeks) Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
It's good that Emi takes a bath in the evening because she is surrounded by people daily now that covid is rampant and all around her...she shouldn't go to bed from the day's exposure. I hope she is still well and healthy with that addictive smile!
Definitely, it is not a typical example of medium or small companies Pasona has many employees, so if anything, it is typical example of large companies
In Singapore if I can go home on the dot at 6pm it will be the best job in ever. Singaporeans work the longest hours in the world comparable to Japan and Korea.
its only in big company offices. its to relieve the stress of working Especially the zoo part. since as u may have known, working in japan is very very stressful.
@@governmentshugedick8735 It is very much not typical for a Japanese office as well. How many offices do you think have farms and all that in them? lol
but i guess this kind office setting is getting more common nowadays that this will become the "typical" office you would see in the next few years. 😂😂
As a Typical Japanese Worker in the video, you'll see that Emi: - still lives with her parents (very common) - still works for the same company she started with after graduating university - takes baths at night - doesn't have a lot of time for breakfast before work - commutes to work 1 hour one-way everyday by train - arrives to work early before company hours - sits in an open seating environment with co-workers and mangers all sitting together - attends the traditional company morning meeting, called Chorei (very Japanese) - receives Omiyage from co-workers who came back from trips - performs regular desk and PC work throughout the day (as you would expect) - attends planing meetings as required for her job throughout the day - takes a 1-hour lunch break with co-workers - respects company seniority and uses the appropriate language to address her superiors - leaves the office when she finishes her work. On this day, she finished her work on time when on other days she may have to stay behind...as you can see other people in the office still remained since they didn't finish their work yet. - meets up with the girls after work to have a dinner / drinks - All of the above is what you could expect to see in a day of a "Typical Japanese Office Worker" or "Salarywomen in Japan"
Japanese men and women in offices know what to do and they do it without the boss checking on them. And working in a quiet place like that is just a damn relief. No person there would risk getting fired, not from an amazing place like that.
We have CEO and COO in our office you get used to it and so busy you don't notice. But we don't have live animals unless you count some of the other employees. Lol
PASONA just announced that they will relocate their HQ office from Tokyo to Awaji island...let's wish her good luck on the island..as well as other 1200 employees...
Oh, really😨,pasona was closed in my country (Indonesia) since June due to covid. Seem they have big financial problem due to covid. So sad, last year I joined Japan internship managed by pasona . They are so walk the talk with the job yet friendly. Wish them are recovered.
Pasona has annual another internship program for youth from developing country and it located in Awaji island. It takes 9 month and trained by expert business trainer. I assumed Emi San is one of the PIC for this program. Well ,it far from famous and not so tourims area like Okinawa.
haha, funny that there is a reference to wallstreet. i was thinking about a scene in the movie the wolf of wallstreet the entire time watching this video. All the brokers yelling/cursing into their phone VS being so quiet in the japanese office
This is the best case scenario for a Japanese office worker, most are working 60 hours a week for about $30k-$40k a year. And the boss is not nearly as friendly
Dima Sorochynski you act like everyone has that luxury all around the world. People suffer, work for assholes everywhere. Do you think office workers around the world are just chilling? And about her boss being nice how do you think he will act before camera like an asshole?
@@pereii You'd be surprised by how different people act online. Stereotyping according to profession is ancient, how old are you? 95? Maybe you don't sound as pseudo masculine as u do offline? I can easily assume you're a white knight beta male lefftist cucckkk judging from what you just commented. Food for thought.
it is very funny to see the difference between working in this company and elsewhere in the world. The office culture, the office tour, the animal and the break is so funnt
I’m a Japanese but hopefully no one misunderstands like “This is Japanese usual company” lol. This company is like Google, too unique and never can be a sample of “Japanese workplace”.
Exactly! I work for Kyocera & they are not like this. Yes they are bit progressive compared to other Japanese companies but this is not your usual Japanese company or worklife.
I've said it before, but I would love to see a day in the life of a Japanese health worker. An acupuncturist, a dietician, Reiki channel, a massage therapist, etc. Being a Reiki channel myself I love learning about healing modalities.
I really appreciate how japanese big company take employee training seriously and give you a whole package of program, and not just ask new employee should be ready for everything as long as they enter the new company.
Don’t get fooled. Japan is a horrible place to work due to bad work-life balance. This guy just shows a really rosy picture, like a tourist informercial.
@@mashable8759 It is true that you have bad companies everywhere, but I think Japan's average work environment itself is pretty bad compared to what you can find in Europe or North America. The entire system in Japan is structured in a way where things like work-life balance do not even enter the picture. Being over-worked is actually common. There is a reason that Japan even has the word Karoshi. The fact is, Japan is a country that looks first world in it's development, but has a working environment that is at the third world level to sustain that appearance. The reason I find this person behind the video to be dishonest is that there is no way he is unaware that this video shows a work-place that is super rare to find. Yet, he presents it as if this is what it is like in Japan in general, with maybe few minor exceptions. The reality is that this video has few similarities with the average Japanese office environment.
Well yeah, why even take a shower every day when you get dirty anyway... once a week is enough... jk lol Oh and in Japan there are "surgeon doctors" running around in all kinds of offices with the face cover at 3:56 :D By the way I don't think all these amenities are available at every single office especially at smaller companies. This one seems like a pretty big one. The things that stand out in this video, is the workers are extremely well behaved, polite, and focused.
I'm so jealous of the un-sweaty Japanese. If I had only showered the evening before when going to work, I would smell like a polar bear waking up from hibernation.
It's also thanks to the good air-conditioning, nice materials in bedding and clothes, etc. But yeah, during the summer here I definitely have to take a shower in the morning too :D
They do sometimes take a shower during the summer mornings to refresh their selves up since japanese people are not used to the humid air coming from the pacific ocean
@@astronomical3342 has to do with the idea of not standing out when “everyone” has an iPhone, why would someone buying their first phone/their next phone buy something else than an iPhone? I saw an interview once where they asked Japanese people what phone they have and most people said/showed an iPhone. There was one person I clearly remember that had a Sony Xperia and she said that she’ll get an iPhone next because she got the phone as a gift, so she didn’t want to throw it away.
HUMMMMM..., I live In Canada, which, I hear, is called the bastion of progressiveness in North America BUT JESUS CHRIST THEY HAD A PETTING ZOO AND A BAKERY AND A FREE RESTAURANT AND A COOL BOSS AND HOLLY CRAP I WOULD CRAWL THROUGH BROKEN GLASS TO WORK THERE
Thierry Blondin-Rivest The office looks horrible. Incorrect screen setups, no monitors, poor lighting and space issues, etc. H&S practically does not exist. All unwashed persons in an office, disgusting..
@@ryanqube9132 Your wrong there bud trust me i've been to japan and the japanese people are the most (HUMANLY) humans on this entire planet it's the perfect environment for your health/mind etc it's insane how peaceful japan is it's entirely different than the rest of the world!
There are so many wonderful perks at her job. I love the open office, the bakery and the farm. You can get your daily dosage of petting and feeding cute animals. There are places in America that do offer wet towels actually. I am in NY and some restaurants and hotels offer them.
Wow, I love how this workplace is. I can't imagine what it was like with COVID though. I love how it takes all into the wellbeings of the employees and made it feel like the CEO isn't some higher-up. They're right there and working the same as their employees. I appreciate it.
Absolutely...many years ago I worked in a grocery and the boss wanted us to buy our own newspaper and read the sales flyer before we came in so we could correctly check out the merch....What an asshat...paid nothing .
Actually its hell for introvert. I worked in semi open office as a heavy asocial introvert for some time. It became so unbearable that I had to quit to retain sanity...
I’m actually VERY surprised! I didn’t expect to see something like this in Japan! I’ve been working for a Japanese company for 3 years, and personally, it has been tough. I think it's because I work in the 自動車産業 (automotive industry). Thanks for sharing this video, Paolo! I've regained my desire to look for another job in Japanese companies!
Great video! You described Emi's workplace as "one of the more progressive", which is probably why working there seems so cool/fun. Could you do a video showing what the regular maybe not so progressive offices are like?

I hope that Japan continue this trend
I have seen similar buildings in Western office settings, but the general consensus among my peers and coworkers is that it is a form of 'employee capture'. Specifically, making offices feel like homes encourages salaried employees to contribute free overtime. Senior staff peer pressure prevents most employees from using it: "Real team players" won't "slack off".
That's goid to Here, hope the workplace environment gets better as time passes by!
I want to work in japan in like 4-5 years and I hope that the conditions will improve. I was worried about the way they handle work there.

My company (in Canada) does weekly morning meetings about the company and its weekly progresses and such too, where the leads talk to the whole company and all the teams about what they're doing for the week and give encouragement, etc. We don't do it every morning (as you're saying is the traditional way here in the video) but it's considered progressive and inclusive to do this at all (in person, not in email). It's considered by the CEOs and stuff to give the company a more intimate and team-oriented feel, and to create cohesion and offer transparency for all the teams.
It's just interesting that what is considered "new" and "progressive" in Canada is actually a *traditional* or even old _daily_ part of Japanese office culture.

Personal gym, private cafeteria and bakery, zoo... Yea I don't think typical is the word here lol
I think it's one of those companies that are trying to adopt western silicon valley office vibe. Seen a few when I visited Korea, they try to move away from typical cubical environment which definitely is not typical.
Brian Chen It’s gonna be sad when they get rid of the cubicles all together. No more dicking around on reddit on company time :(
During the good old days of Californian startups (like 2010s), the company I was working for had its own bar, food delivery, yoga instructor and crossfit, a car wash service and you could customize your cubicle with anything you wanted. I came across a guy who had beach sand under his desk bc he was"getting ready for his vacation". Also they had a kitchen in the middle of the office and they used to make waffles for breakfast. They were showers and washing machines too. And it was a company of maybe 80 ppl... I worked for another company where employees used to go surfing before arriving at the office... at like 10.30 or 11 am.
Emmanuel K Thank you for your info tho
but this company actually has 4000 for only one department
I think It's already a typical nation wide to have that kind of service in offices. Even the startup office that I work for right now has gym, shopping area, cafeteria inside the Central Business District Office Complex.

Definitely, it is not a typical example of medium or small companies
Pasona has many employees, so if anything, it is typical example of large companies

My thoughts exactly. This is so far from typical. The only "typical" thing was the train commute lol.
but i guess this kind office setting is getting more common nowadays that this will become the "typical" office you would see in the next few years. 😂😂
What wasnt typical? The meal at the end? Being out of work at 6pm? Big lunch with colleagues? Going to a petting zoo?
As a Typical Japanese Worker in the video, you'll see that Emi:
- still lives with her parents (very common)
- still works for the same company she started with after graduating university
- takes baths at night
- doesn't have a lot of time for breakfast before work
- commutes to work 1 hour one-way everyday by train
- arrives to work early before company hours
- sits in an open seating environment with co-workers and mangers all sitting together
- attends the traditional company morning meeting, called Chorei (very Japanese)
- receives Omiyage from co-workers who came back from trips
- performs regular desk and PC work throughout the day (as you would expect)
- attends planing meetings as required for her job throughout the day
- takes a 1-hour lunch break with co-workers
- respects company seniority and uses the appropriate language to address her superiors
- leaves the office when she finishes her work. On this day, she finished her work on time when on other days she may have to stay behind...as you can see other people in the office still remained since they didn't finish their work yet.
- meets up with the girls after work to have a dinner / drinks
- All of the above is what you could expect to see in a day of a "Typical Japanese Office Worker" or "Salarywomen in Japan"
I know ...getting off at 4:30pm lmfao..... no unpaid overtime. (oh I guess that just applies to Korean companies)
I can't get over the workout in the work suit lol. This was very interesting. I also see that people love their beer in Japan.
The last thing I want is to sit next to CEO.
Completely agree! He's probably sitting there just to keep an eye on all of them.
I agree, but on another hand if he sees you working hard, you might get promotion easily.
It would be fantastic to have that kind of accessibility to someone who clearly has a ton to offer you
Japanese men and women in offices know what to do and they do it without the boss checking on them. And working in a quiet place like that is just a damn relief. No person there would risk getting fired, not from an amazing place like that.

@@eufrosniad994 thats true everywhere, obviously this is a good company
@@mashable8759 It is true that you have bad companies everywhere, but I think Japan's average work environment itself is pretty bad compared to what you can find in Europe or North America. The entire system in Japan is structured in a way where things like work-life balance do not even enter the picture. Being over-worked is actually common. There is a reason that Japan even has the word Karoshi. The fact is, Japan is a country that looks first world in it's development, but has a working environment that is at the third world level to sustain that appearance.
The reason I find this person behind the video to be dishonest is that there is no way he is unaware that this video shows a work-place that is super rare to find. Yet, he presents it as if this is what it is like in Japan in general, with maybe few minor exceptions. The reality is that this video has few similarities with the average Japanese office environment.
This is actually presented really well, I love it

when “everyone” has an iPhone, why would someone buying their first phone/their next phone buy something else than an iPhone?

Being poor in Haiti 🤷🏻♂️
eeebeltran okay
It’s should get banned
My work place doesn’t need a zoo, the workers are constantly make animal noises and contributing to methane gas in the environment.
fuckin hell i died at this comment
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Savage
I know that feel :(
LMAO
Wow, I love how this workplace is. I can't imagine what it was like with COVID though. I love how it takes all into the wellbeings of the employees and made it feel like the CEO isn't some higher-up. They're right there and working the same as their employees. I appreciate it.
That’s not an office. It’s the “Heaven” like work place.
I'm addicted to this "Day in the Life Series" 😣
Saaaaaaame
Sameee!!!

Me tooooooo
Sameeeeee!

Amazing video, it’s great seeing how others workplace works, thank you
If my job required me to read newspaper... My boss would have definately told me to read paper at home before coming to office
nimesh kyal Absolutely true.
☺☺☺☺🤣🤣
Kkkkkkkkk true
@Regrettable Major Since her job is PR related, I guess she studied 'Mass Communication' or something similar..
Absolutely...many years ago I worked in a grocery and the boss wanted us to buy our own newspaper and read the sales flyer before we came in so we could correctly check out the merch....What an asshat...paid nothing .
I came here after watching Makoto the “Average Salaryman”. The contrast. 😅
#savemakoto.
Yee me too
Small company vs big company.
Mee too😊😊😊
Yeah..she doesn't look busy at all compare to makoto 😅
That office is a heaven for an introvert
Actually its hell for introvert. I worked in semi open office as a heavy asocial introvert for some time. It became so unbearable that I had to quit to retain sanity...
@Mehdi lol6 Not RLY, most people in Japan are very hypersocial.
word
Lol
I think you meant extrovert?
I’m actually VERY surprised! I didn’t expect to see something like this in Japan! I’ve been working for a Japanese company for 3 years, and personally, it has been tough. I think it's because I work in the 自動車産業 (automotive industry).
Thanks for sharing this video, Paolo! I've regained my desire to look for another job in Japanese companies!
Hi there
@@kReXaJs2 Hi! 👋🏻
@@Lilychan06 Are you from another country that is currently working in Japan?
@@kReXaJs2 Creepy incel 🤣
Shout out to that boss dad carrying his 2 kids on a bike at the beginning.
Which minute?
Anonymous thanks 00:00
Quite normal in China when I was young. I was one of them.
Mom’s and dads have 2 works. Care for their kids and go to work 😊
I am 200% sure that this is definitely not a typical Japanese company.
라아 Come to America and it’s way different
@Sara Touzani experience, and good interviewing skills, and some luck.
Great video! You described Emi's workplace as "one of the more progressive", which is probably why working there seems so cool/fun. Could you do a video showing what the regular maybe not so progressive offices are like?
The more traditional companies would have probably never allowed a film like this to be made.
@@brozors I was gonna say that
@@brozors I didn't think of that, you're probably right.
That would not be possible.
@@brozorsNot necessarily, even some yakuza let in journalists to document their doings. Well, not all of them :)
