Hi all,
I am about to relocate to Japan permanently, somewhere in Tokyo. Will be moving mid next year.
I previously (long time ago, nearly 8 years!!) lived in Nagoya for a couple of years doing the English teaching thing. Since leaving I have done fairly well for myself - run a couple of startups, worked at a Fortune 500, etc - and now am having to decide what to do in Japan.
I own half of an export business there, and that will pay the bills, but I am keen to start something a bit more entrepreneurial and exciting.
I have enough capital to cover the startup costs in most industries I guess - I'm just keen to know if anyone here has started a business in Japan? What are the boom industries? Which are to be avoided?
All advice appreciated!
Cheers!
