Why is Relocation to Japan Different? Difficult?


Relocating anywhere is a difficult business. Who likes moving house? Would you move 3 times a year?
Most people would cringe at the thought of moving even 3 times in 10 years.
So add to that an international move, to a country that speaks a different language (which is incidentally spoken nowhere else in the world), to a land of people who have a different approach to many things in life. That's the difference!
So what make's it difficult? Well, that is easy...... People make it difficult! People make everything difficult! Why? Because we all come from different backgrounds, have different perspectives on things, have different expectations that typically are built on our past experiences, and we all think that we are the correct about everything (well, alot of the time anyway!).
So, what do we do to assist in the relocation of people to Japan and finding them a comfortable home? We try to understand them. We try to put our feet in their shoes. And, we try to never forget that the people we work with are human, and therefore require a human touch.
We have a long way to go in perfecting our real estate, relocation and leasing services, but we are going to go there, because we know what is required. We know that however quickly technology changes, people are always going to be difficult, and people are always going to required a human touch. If it were not for people, this world would long ago have been perfected. However, we all know how far away from perfection the world is, and therefore I know that H&R Consultants, ReloJapan and Lease Japan have a long time to live in Japan yet!
