Working in a Japanese company, Kaisha ( 会社 ) , as a foreigner is a very scary process that only few have attempted so far. Both the daunting hierarchy and bewildering Keigo ( 敬語 ) frighten most people away. On the other hand, Japanese companies are also famous in their generosity to provide a full range of career trainings and supports to their employees. To know how to get a entry ticket from Kaisha and how to survive in it, we invite you to join with us!!
