- Why would anyone leave a country as incredible as Japan? In this video, I share my personal journey of living in Japan for 4 years, completing my PhD, and working at top universities like Kyoto University and the University of Tokyo. Despite having Japan’s prestigious Highly Skilled Professional Visa, I made the difficult decision to leave this country. Join me as I explore the realities of life in Japan as a foreigner. If you're considering moving to Japan or are curious about life abroad, this video is for you!

I am living in japan for 10yrs now. All your points are absolutely true. If you don’t know Japanese language very well life is miserable here but once you get the language you can have a best life here alhumdulillah..
That’s true
@@SafwanShanaya bro can you give me your number
eatqauck bhi aty na mujhy dar lagta
I am in Japan and agree with the reasons mentioned in the video.
Thank you for watching.,
Assalamoalaikum brother you have done best decision for you and your family living here in japan more than two decades I realize if you don’t have a Japanese wife life is very hard I use to live here with my Pakistani wife and children’s later my family move to UAE they all grown up and settled in there life my children asked many times dad why don’t we settled there in japan they will never understand even I explained them many times today I was really glad after going through your notions 😂the same decisions I made two decades ago good luck to you.Apart from these hurdles I love japan and Japanese people so safe n peaceful
You have made a wise decision, the reasons which you have described, are valid and genuine.
Thank you
I have done the opposite 8 years ago after living in UK for 5 years. Best of the luck for your future endeavours.
Thank you.
Well done Thanks God first time I have seen so educated person was in Japan and definitely Tokyo university is the best as I lived in Japan since 1986 and never met educated person Im happy to see you so God bless you always stay happy
Thank you for watching 🙏
I work in Germany and can relate to many reasons you mentioned, mostly due to language barrier. However, this is a blessing in disguise in case of someone who focuses on the the language has no competition. Still your decision to leave Japan makes more sense but UK is not a good option specially since last decade. Probably, Australia or US would be far better option for such a good profile. In UK, system has been collapsing, salaries are way less and rentals are out of mind. Good luck for you. Best wishes from Germany
Thank you for the detailed comment. I went to USA but it didn’t worked for me.
O i see. Best wishes then. In case you also consider your career out of academia, Germany could be heaven for you. Specially when it comes to family life. High quality of life with much cheap living costs as compared to other regions in europe
UK is the best country in whole world
@@supersurfer1 o really? Can you please elaborate your verdict by some facts? Thanks in advance

Thank you
I left Japan too & now doing agriculture in Pakistan.
I am a Japanese citizen & there is no such history test to get the passport FYI.
However basic Japanese language test is a challenge.
I agrees that foreigners will remain foreigners forever ( Gaijin ) .
It’s because of the island who never shares friendly borders but imposing war on neighbouring countries referring Japanese war history.
The country is like heaven to touch on the cost of NOT yours own ( Gaijin ) .
It’s the finest country to live no doubt.
But overall acceptance by the Japanese community & the government is Cold .
The point is it’s up to people which ever , what ever & where ever they choose to live .
Stay blessed & be happy.
Only comments no debates 🙏
Thank you for watching the video.
Yes, you’re right. There is no language written test, but there is an interview in Japanese which you have to clear. I was talking about that.
Why the hell you came back to Pakistan are u mad??????!!!!!!!!!......

YOU ARE RIGHT. I LEFT JAPAN FOR THE SAMD REASONS IN 1998 AND CAME TO ITALY. THIS WAS RIGHT DECISION. FROM ITALY.
@@liaqatkhattak6316 so instead of learning Japanese you learned Italian 😀
Thank you. Good luck 🤞
Asad Bhai you made very excellent points. Jesay apney bataya waha permanently rehna non Japanese ke liye bohot muskil hota hain lekin ap phir waha ka environment experience krsaktey hou during your studies 4-5 years jesay apney kiya Lekin permanently rehnay ke liye kahi or settle hona zaida easy hoga.
Agar phir bad mein Japan ki yaad bhi ati hain tou ap 1-2 months ke liye waha wapis rehnay bhi jasaktey hain.
Thank you
I am currently in Japan.
The reason you left Japan is almost matching with mine.. :)
Thank you for watching. I hope it will help you.
Same is with me but in China
Nice Sharing ❤
Thank you
Respected Sir very useful information Thanks
Thank you
Mashallah,
Nice informative video sir 👌
Thank you
Thanks for sharing good information
I am also from Pakistan and living in Japan since 1996 after doing PhD from University of Tokyo. I have two children born and raised in Japan. Both children are studying in US and Holland. I can easily make counter vlog against this vlog. Whatever he is saying is based on 4 years life experience. It is an experience which has challenges but if you go a little longer life will become easier and easier

GOOD
THANK YOU FOR INFORMATIOH
Wedone Asad bhai best wishes from Imran Bukhari
Thank you bro
Assalamualaikum
Appreciate your detailed and focused description. I never lived in Japan but have been visiting often due to my work.
I too feel that it's a wonderful country to "visit", but not at all pleasing for permanent stay. There is loneliness in the air. You see tired faces every evening. They work so hard that one can feel tired even seeing them 😊
And yes, they are good people but they won't trust you easily. And they do not ignore and forget others' mistakes.
Somehow you never feel the joy of life fully when you are in Japan.
You did a great analysis 👌
I’ve always considered Japan a boring place and also racist
بلکل درست بات ہیں میں تھک گیا ہوں ہر بار موبائل فون نکالنا پڑتا ہے ٹرانسلیٹ کے لئے میں خود کوئی اور ملک دیکھ رہا ہوں اللہ میری مدد فرمائے ویسے جاپانی لوگ بہت اچھے ہیں
Aameen. Japanese are really good people 👍
Bhai Japanese Sikh lo
I agreed with you i live in Japan from previous two years
Hello dr, you did bachelor's from comsats, masters from china and phd from japan, its impressive and equally wondering 🎉
Good Luck to you brother.
Thank you
Informative video
I’m living Japan since 14 years
But I can’t progressed on my life . Your are absolutely right.here’s no Change life without higher level in Japanese language
Yes, this is what I mentioned in the video as well. If you don’t move early, then you get stuck there. My well wishes are with you
@@sunnybarua4559 bro apka number mil skta ha
I have always fantasize Japan
Same is with Germany. German language is the blocker. However, if you know the language, then life is good!
Apne boht ache points batay
Thank you for watching.
True very very true😊
Thank you
Great info...plz do guide the best way to learn japanese language...im a medical professional with more than a decade of experience but i wanna work in some environment like you are mentioning..baqi documentation wala kam aj kal jo hum professional kr rahay hain idr pak me mujy to lagta hay clerk bun chukay hain..
It’s a misconception that you have to give up your nationality, if you get naturalised. Well it is kinda true but it is a grey zone. They do not force you to give up your old citizenship, as long as you tell them that you will keep on trying (Ganbatte) they never question it. I know tons of people who have got naturalised and never withdrew their old citizenship. Also, the naturalisation test is easy, my Japanese isn’t that good and still I was able to pass it with some preparation. And there was no questions about Japanese history lol 😂.
Oh, I never heard of keeping dual nationality in Japan.
I am Japanese citizen. you never heard that mother and father is Pakistani but children Japani.
but originally from Karachi Pakistan. Your information about Japan is 95% accurate/ My family living in Canada, after retirement I leave Japan and rest of life spend in Canada with my family
Will carry this passport end of my last day
But after spending this much time in Japan will make life harder for you outside at later stages. However, my best wishes are with you 🙌🏼
very true, i got the same experience in Japan, i left too.
Good.

Hey Bro. I am in Japan from last 3 year. While watching your video, It seems like you are explaining my challenges. 😂😂😢😢😢 I am also thinking to move to European country. Love from Indian
Best of luck.
What is the difference between permanent residency lost & revocation of permanent residence in japan
Same problems in China too.
You took the right decision
Thank you.

I have always dreamt of settling in JAPAN. But this video has changed my mind a bit. Really informative video Asad Bhae. Thankyou for this.

Sir female student k leay kea scope he, me apni bati ko study k leay bhejna chhati hn,

AoA i did my MS from NUST with 3.10 CGPA i am recommended by University for phd , i contacted a professor 4 months ago and he told me to apply through uni track and i follow the process , at the end i applied through their portal and also submitted the documents through courier now they selected me for mext through university track my question is this my cgpa is very low although i am selected by the university whaat are my chances for MEXT now ? if my cgpa fulfil the mext criteria ? as university selected my after the screening process
If the university has selected you then the chances are very high. Because university only selects you when you meet the criteria. So hope for the best.
is japan good for higher studies...?

Salam Mr. Asad Hijaz,

want to choose an English speaking country. Which is better?
Nice and honest talk. I think many students feel the same
Thank you ☺️
does Japanese universities offer degrees in English language, you did PhD in English medium?
Yes, they offer in English. I was in English medium that’s why couldn’t learn Japanese 😅
Can you decode why Japanese currency is so undervalued despite a robust economy?
It is done deliberately to increase their export esp automobiles, electronics etc
@@AK-iw3zw Why is this financial model suitable for Japan when generally it is advocated for post-colonial third world countries?

I shared all the videos on my channel. She can get the idea from my videos. If you have any specific questions, you can reach to me on instagram.
Many Pakistanis n foreigners have learnt Japanese, you should have done that as well
Yes, you’re right. I should’ve learned the Japanese but it was very difficult 😬
It’s still a racist country
@@asadhijazinstead of learning Japanese use that effort for another PhD 😂
You resemble quite alot Dr. Satchidananda Panda a Professor at Salk Institute
Really 😅

Sir as a student for becholers Japan Jana kesa hy plz shear your thoughts.
It’s really good. In the young age, it’s easy to learn language.
@@asadhijaz thank you 😊
@@asadhijaz sir should I go for language course first

Good luck. In Japan you will have good opportunities.
Is it possible to study data science in a Japanese university, im form India i have completed my high school
Yes, but undergraduate admissions thory tough hoty hai.
@@asadhijaz k , what about in Europe is it tough or easy
Good. Design.
Sir ap Cam Ko Bhi Theek Tarha Se Lagaya Karain Ye Koi BaDa Kam Nai !
Okay. Thank you
Good timely right decision.
why shouldn't you go to USA; cause UK again is not the place people settled and save money.
I went to USA first but didn’t like it at all 😅
Honestly UK is the best in every way

Ap ny itna time spend kia PR lay letay ap tab move hojatay. As you said 4 year ap nay stay kia or 1 sal men PR mil jana tha. Baki apki sab batay theek hain. Ye b bata den apko PR k liye b language exam required tha ya just for Passport. 😊😊
After PR you become a permanent resident and to maintain the status I had to have a legal address in Japan. If I don’t maintain that after some time they revoke the PR. That’s why there was not a big benefit to get PR in my case as I wanted to move out.
PR k liye koi zyada requirements nahi hoti, you can submit application through lawyers, but Passport k liye you have to pass an interview which is in Japanese.
Understand. Aisa bohut se countries men hota hai Europe ki b k apko after PR Atleast 6 months stay karna hota hai us country men. I am Eu Resident or schengen ki bohut se countries men b ab PR k ley language exam hota hai after 2019 ye law pass hwa hai. Passport phir us k bad ki bat hai. Until agar apki spouse local ho tu PR without language mil jati hai lekin Passport k liye phir b language exam ya phir president ko request karni parhti hai ( local spouse) . Mai b is month Japan or Korea visit pr ja raha hon . Ap nay bohut acha kia English country chose ki. UK ka environment apko bohut suit karay ga after living in Japan . 😊
How can I contact with you?
No country like US on planet earth

The most advance is South Korea..one of the best country.
زبان واقعی ایک بہت بڑا مسلہ ھے یہاں مکر بندہ پیسے بچا سکتا ہے۔کرنسی بے شک چھوٹی ھے مگر اچھی تنخواہ ھے۔باقی جاپان کو بے رونق کہہ لیں یا پر سکون یہ آپ کی اپنی پسند پر منحصر ھے۔میرے خیال میں تو یہ بہت زبردست ملک ھے۔
No doubt, japan is one of the best country.

True.
Japanese nationality kay liay koi history ka test nahi hota. Avoid spread misinformation.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was talking about the interview which you have to clear. You have to have a knowledge of Japan as they may ask questions during the interview.
سب سے بڑا ریزن تو آپ نے بتایا ہی نہیں وہ یہ کہ آپ کے پاس یو کے کا چانس تھا اگر وہ نہ ہوتا تو آپ کبھی بھی جاپان نہیں چھوڑتے میرے بھائی.

This was not my reason.
