Are you building your life or career in Fukuoka Japan and need clarity on visas, status changes, or launching your own business?

Join us for a practical and friendly session with Masayo Boston, a certified legal specialist (gyoseishoshi /administrative lawyer) who helps foreigners navigate the often-complicated legal landscape of living and working in Japan. Masayo is also the author of the long-running Fukuoka Now column, “Japanese Law – Visa Application & Startup Support”, where she shares free and insightful advice with the public.

From residency questions to startup procedures, she’ll share real-world knowledge in a conversational format, followed by open Q&A.
