Last week I checked with a Japanese agent and telling him that I'm looking for a condominium (with full facility like swimming pool, tennis court, etc) in Osaka City. I was given few options but I'm wondering how come their condominium is just like normal apartment (probably with nice lobby). What should I tell the Japanese agent if I want to look for "condominium with facilities"? or there isn't such a thing in Japan at the first place?

In Japan, even if you are a part time staff, you are required to pay for employment pension (usually 8%-10% of gross salary).

What if a person leaves Japan subsequently? Does he/she got to wait until 50 y/o then only can claim, or he/she can make lump-sum withdrawal upon leaving the country?

That is not really true. Alot of this so call part timers are not paying to the employment pension which is one of the main reason the pension system is close to collapsing.

The pension system is not like our EPF. Its more similar to our govt pension scheme where you get monthly allowance after you retire. You need to work a certain numbers of years (I think its 26 years now) before you are eligible to get a monthly pension. If you do leave Japan, with less than these numbers of years, the most you get back its just 2 months (if not mistaken) of your last drawn salary.

Those earning yen should be happy now, Yen to MYR rate going to break 10 years high.
Do anyone heard japan going to face another bubble economy soon?

Japan government would probably print money soon and bring down their currency. Their main source of income is export, with the increase in Japanese yen, the export income maybe significantly affected.

hi there, i would like to know whether civil engineers are sought after there?

i'm just a fresh grad with 1 year experience, is it unlikely that i'll be able to stand out and be noticed? since i'm not that experienced yet and haven't really acquire any special skills set.

or what kind of skills do you think they'll be looking for?
*
Perhaps ur Japanese language and network?
Also, show your prospect employer abt what u did in the past one year
