About the Founder
Yuusuke Iyadomi
Japan Remote Guide is founded by Yuusuke Iyadomi and operated through Dommy, a sole proprietorship based in Tokyo, Japan. The site is built from a local perspective with attention to the practical questions international remote workers often need to verify before choosing Japan as a temporary base.
The editorial approach is intentionally measured: clarify what can be explained, point readers toward official sources, and avoid presenting complex immigration, tax, insurance, or legal topics as one-size-fits-all advice.
Information is researched carefully using official and authoritative sources whenever possible, including the Japanese Government, Immigration Services Agency, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, JNTO, local governments, and other relevant organizations.
Practical interpretation
Articles are written to help readers understand real planning decisions, while distinguishing general guidance from topics that should be confirmed with official bodies or qualified professionals.
Updates when rules change
Japan Remote Guide does not claim perfect accuracy. Regulations, local procedures, and travel conditions can change, so articles are reviewed and updated when meaningful changes are identified.
