Why do so many people want to live in Japan?

Question:


Questions about emigrating to Japan are asked on a daily basis, mostly by people who have never actually visited the country. I wonder why so many people want to move there? It can't all be down to anime/manga/media as you can't know about living in or experiencing a country through fiction.
So, I am genuinely curious, why do you want to live in Japan especially if you've never been there?

Answer:


Hi Luddite.. what we have here is called a pipe dream (incidentally i was going to ask this question:) most don't have an idea of how basic immigration rules work. They get their impression of Japan from manga or anime for example. They forget that highly skilled workers have a better chance of working in Japan than non skilled ones. The same principle works in most western countries too (Australia is a good example). I think we should tell it to them straight and not beat around the bush. No degree or skills/work experience = No Japan (this basic formula should be drummed into their heads)
