Japan is known for its well-structured work system, advanced technology, and unique culture. It's no surprise that many people from around the world, including Indonesia, are interested in working there. However, working in Japan is not something you can do casually. You need to have a valid work visa to live and work legally in the country.
Tokutei Ginou (特定技能)
which literally means "Specified Skilled Worker," is a type of work visa introduced by the Japanese government in April 2019. It was established in response to the country's growing labor shortages across various industrial sectors.
This program is part of Japan’s newer and more open approach toward accepting foreign workers. Its goal is not only to fill labor gaps but also to create a fair system for foreign workers seeking employment with professional status and clear legal protections.
Main Objectives of Tokutei Ginou:
To address labor shortages in key sectors that cannot be fully staffed by Japanese workers due to the country’s aging and declining population.
To provide legal employment opportunities for foreign workers who have the necessary skills required by specific industries.
To enhance the contribution of foreign workers toward the sustainable economic development of Japan.
This system is different from the widely known Technical Intern Training Program.
Under Tokutei Ginou, foreign workers are treated as professional employees, not as trainees. This means they are hired for their expertise and are granted clearer rights and responsibilities as part of the workforce.
Arriving in Japan for the first time can be an exciting experience—but also a bit overwhelming. Many students and newcomers go through culture shock, a feeling of confusion or discomfort caused by the big differences between your home country and Japanese culture. From communication style, daily habits, food, to unspoken social rules—everything can feel unfamiliar
After graduating from a language school or university in Japan, it’s important to understand the formal and structured job hunting process—from preparing a Japanese resume and interviews to obtaining a work visa. With proper preparation and guidance, your chances of working and building a career in Japan will increase significantly.
Having a JLPT N5 certificate or at least 150 hours of Japanese study before starting language school helps you follow lessons more easily, understand the material better, and adapt to the new environment. This preparation increases your chances of success during your studies in Japan.
