Book Your NightThe Experience
This isn't a guided tour with a script and an umbrella. It's a night out at a craft beer spot in the Hamamatsucho/Shimbashi area with someone who's actually lived the expat life in Japan.
Over a couple of beers, we'll talk about whatever you're curious about — what it's really like to:
- Live and work in Japan long-term
- Start and run a guesthouse business
- Work as a software developer in Tokyo
- Navigate Japanese real estate as a foreigner
Small groups only (1–6 people), so there's plenty of room for real conversation. Come with questions.

About Ben
I've been living in Japan for over a decade. I run Ben's Guesthouse in Kyoto, work as a software developer, and invest in Japanese real estate. I've navigated visas, business registration, property purchases, and all the things nobody tells you about before you move here.
This experience came from years of friends-of-friends asking if they could pick my brain over a beer. Now you can too.
