It is also a great opportunity for expats to network and connect with each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Expo features exhibitors from a wide range of industries, including housing, education, employment, travel, and financial services. The Expo also offers a variety of seminars and workshops on topics relevant to the expat community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Expat Expo is held on two floors of the Trade Center building. One floor contains <strong>businesses relevant to your life in Tokyo. <\/strong>You can find language schools, interpretation services, international schools, housing companies, beauty and leisure services and more. The other floor is more <strong>entertainment<\/strong> based, with regional areas offering up travel campaigns and local entertainment, and there is a stage with various performances. Here you will have the chance to take photos while wearing traditional Japanese costumes or try your hand at some old-fashioned toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time as the Expo, the venue will also be host to the 2nd International Job Fair Tokyo 2022, where jobseekers can bring their resume\/CVs and look for potential job openings and network with various companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first time, this year there will also be the International Flea Market. Foreign families will participate by selling their old goods, and so this is a great chance to pick up things like English books and other hard to find things in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you are an individual, the Expat Expo offers you:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fun entertainment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A chance to discover businesses that can help your life in Japan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Giveaways and free goods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lots of cool travel destinations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A place for job seekers to find work<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delicious foods at the World Food Fair section<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you are a company, the Expo also may be beneficial as:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Friday session is a good chance for networking with businesses you may form a partnership with<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can increase your brand recognition with the expat market if you have your own stall<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can find useful services for your international employees, such as language lessons like the corporate lessons offered by Toranomon Language School &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/toranomon-ls.com\/ja\/corporate\/\">https:\/\/toranomon-ls.com\/corporate\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Details for 2022:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Dates and times:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday 25th November: 10am &#8211; 5pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saturday 26th November: 10am &#8211; 4pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Venue:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center Hamamatsucho-kan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Register at https:\/\/www.expat-expo.jp\/registration\/<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Expat Expo will be happening again this November and you can meet some members of the Toranomon Language School team there!<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":10873,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[335],"tags":[129,130,127,126,128,85,24,112],"class_list":["post-10872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-life-in-japan","tag-129","tag-event","tag-expat","tag-expats","tag-expo","tag-japan","tag-learn-japanese","tag-tokyo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/toranomon-ls.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/toranomon-ls.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/toranomon-ls.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toranomon-ls.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toranomon-ls.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10872"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/toranomon-ls.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10872\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10877,"href":"https:\/\/toranomon-ls.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10872\/revisions\/10877"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toranomon-ls.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/toranomon-ls.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toranomon-ls.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toranomon-ls.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
