About this listen

Welcome to a crucial spring update of Moving to Japan, where we tackle the financial hurdles of living in Japan. As April 21, 2026, rolls around, Nina and Ken dive into the impending "June Resident Tax Shock" that often blindsides many a Japan expat in their second year of residency. Ken recounts his humorous yet harrowing "Bean Sprout Diet" survival story while explaining why your 2026 tax bill might feel heavier without the old Teigaku Genzei cushion. They also break down the major October 2025 shift in Furusato Nozei rules, specifically the new "Point Ban" that has transformed digital donation platforms into impact-driven tools. For anyone working in Japan, understanding the "One-Stop" system trap is vital; did you know a single medical deduction could void your entire tax credit? Whether you are relocating to Japan or have been here for years, this episode provides essential advice on navigating the 2026 fiscal landscape without losing your savings. Join us to learn why timing your donations and checking your "blue slip" notices is more important than ever. #MovingToJapan #JapanTax #FurusatoNozei #ExpatLifeJapan #TokyoFinance
