Remote jobs in Japan

Japan. Remote vacancies at international companies that accept an application from here. Every listing is screened first: anything asking for a foreign work permit, visa sponsorship, a particular citizenship or residence in a named country is rejected before it reaches this page.

1267 of the 1746 vacancies on this board are open to an applicant here. The other 479 name Europe as the candidate's region, so they are listed but do not count for this country.

A 09:00 to 18:00 day here gives 2 hours of overlap with the European employers on this board and no overlap with the North American ones. The European roles are the easier fit for ordinary hours; the others are workable, but an advert asking for overlap is asking you to move your day.

Across the 121 of these vacancies that publish a salary on a monthly, weekly or yearly basis, the median works out at $5,000 a month. Hourly rates are left out of that figure on purpose: an hourly rate is a price, not an income, and multiplying it by a guess at the hours would invent a salary nobody offered. Against average local earnings that is about 1.8 times the local figure (ILOSTAT).

The vacancy text on each page is the employer's own, in the language they published it. The board does not take applications and is not the employer: "apply" goes to the original posting.
