About Us

U.S. Money Guide for Japanese Expats is a Japanese-language personal finance website for Japanese professionals, expatriates, and families living in the United States.

The site is part of Go Abroad Guide and focuses on the financial decisions Japanese residents face when moving to, living in, and eventually leaving the United States.

What We Cover

Our content covers U.S. credit cards, credit history, banking, investing, saving, international money transfers, insurance, and financial preparation for returning to Japan.

Japanese expatriates often arrive in the United States without an established U.S. credit history and may stay for only several years. Our goal is to explain mainstream U.S. financial products in Japanese while considering these specific circumstances.

Our Editorial Approach

We prioritize official information from financial institutions, card issuers, government agencies, and service providers. We may also consult established U.S. personal-finance publications for market context.

Advertising and affiliate compensation do not determine our editorial conclusions, ratings, or recommendations. We may recommend products for which we receive no compensation and may identify disadvantages of products offered by advertising partners.

Financial-product terms can change. Readers should always confirm the latest fees, rewards, rates, eligibility requirements, and other conditions directly with the issuer or provider before applying.
