New Guide Enables a Stress Free Move from Japan.

Jan. 31, 2011 - PRLog -- The 75 page digital guide contains all of the information, resources and advice anyone leaving Japan would ever need in order to make moving as smooth as possible. It is suitable for students and working professionals of all kinds. It is divided into checklists – '3 Months To Go', '2 Months To Go', '1 Month To Go', '1 Week To Go' and 'After You Leave Japan', to ensure all of the tasks and procedures that inevitably accompany an international move are done on time, and as smoothly and easily as possible.

There are technical tips such as sending possessions home, organizing the mail-forwarding service, applying for the pension refund and canceling utilities, to emotional advice such as saying farewells (including template speeches in Japanese) and dealing with reverse culture shock.

“The last few months before you move out of Japan should be spent absorbing as much of the country and culture as possible, while you can”, author Laura Pepper says. “Unfortunately for my husband and I, the last couple of months involved a lack of sleep, running around Tokyo and trying to sort the facts from the outdated information that was scattered all over the internet.”

Laura spent hours researching removals companies and interviewing them for the best rates, and "too much time" sifting through articles and websites trying to find accurate information on procedures such as paying taxes and applying for the pension refund.

The guide was written as a comprehensive source of information, in order that people who have enjoyed a lengthy stay in Japan will be able to find all of this information much more easily, and in one place. The hope is that they can have more time and energy to enjoy their last few months in the country, stress-free.

‘The Stress Free Guide to Leaving Japan- a 3 month checklist to make your life a lot easier’ is available for ¥500 from www.sayonarajapan.com.
It will soon be available on Amazon’s kindle and other e reader devices.
