False Promises & Unrealistic Expectations

Many people are misled by exaggerated claims about salaries and life in Japan.
We share honest, realistic information about expectations, responsibilities, and outcomes — helping candidates prepare with clarity, not assumptions.

Lack of Real-World Readiness

Language alone is not enough to succeed in Japan.
Our approach focuses on preparing candidates for workplace culture, social norms, and real-life challenges before they arrive.

Cultural Gaps

Cultural differences often create misunderstandings at work and in daily life.
We emphasize cultural understanding and mindset training so candidates can adapt smoothly and build trust in Japanese environments.

Limited Post-Arrival Support

Support often stops once candidates reach Japan.
We stay involved beyond arrival — assisting with settlement, adjustment, and future career direction.

Short-Term Career Thinking

Many programs focus only on job placement.
Our focus is on long-term growth — developing skills, mindset, and adaptability that support sustainable careers in Japan and beyond.

Mission

We empower people to grow beyond borders.

Through Japanese language education, soft skills training, and real-world work opportunities in Japan, we help individuals build confidence, discipline, and a global mindset — skills that stay with them for life.

Vision

Creating a world where anyone can work in the right place.

Regardless of where one is born or the environment one grows up in, every individual should be able to use their abilities and create value in the “right place” for them. We strive to make such opportunities possible—and to expand them beyond national borders.

Values

Integrity

We respond sincerely and consistently to the needs of the people in front of us.

Speed

We act quickly, learn rapidly, grow continuously, and maximize the value we deliver.

Responsibility

We take strong responsibility for work that impacts people’s lives.

Why Japan?

  • Aging Population, Growing Need

    Japan faces a critical shortage of caregivers, creating long-term demand and stable employment opportunities.

  • Stable & Legal Work Pathway

    The SSW program is government-backed, transparent, and designed to protect foreign workers.

  • Safe & Respectful Society

    Japan is one of the safest countries in the world, built on trust, discipline, and mutual respect.

  • Fair Wages

    Caregivers earn significantly more than similar roles in India, with clear labor protections.

  • Global Cultural Influence (Anime & Pop Culture)

    Japanese anime, media, and pop culture have created strong interest among young people worldwide, making cultural adaptation easier and more motivating.

  • Technological Advancement

    From healthcare systems to daily life automation, Japan offers exposure to advanced technology and high living standards.

SSW & Caregiving

The Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) visa allows foreign nationals to work legally in Japan.

Our Team

Founder & CEO (Japan)

Eisuke Shigetoku

I founded Job is Well because I could not ignore what I witnessed in India.

I founded Job is Well because I could not ignore what I witnessed in India. While volunteering with an NGO in Bihar for nearly a year, I met young people who were capable, ambitious, and ready to work—yet locked out of stable opportunities. Many told me they dreamed of working in Japan, not for luxury, but for dignity and security.

At the same time, Japan faces a serious labor shortage. I saw a clear truth: these two realities should meet—but only in the right way. Migration should never be exploitative or rushed. It should empower people and strengthen societies on both sides.

Job is Well exists to build that bridge responsibly. We prepare candidates properly, speak honestly about challenges, and stay involved even after they arrive in Japan. My vision is simple but ambitious: to create workplaces where people thrive because of who they are, and where global talent is respected, supported, and given room to grow.

Managing Director (India)

Mansi Naik

I lead Job is Well India with one core responsibility in mind: protecting students while helping them move forward.

I lead Job is Well India with one core responsibility in mind: protecting students while helping them move forward. With a background in language education, cross-cultural training, and seven years of teaching Japanese, I understand how overwhelming international pathways can feel—especially for first-generation global professionals.

I am JLPT N1 certified, hold a degree in English Literature, and have lived and worked in Japan. More importantly, I have worked closely with students from different social and economic backgrounds, listening to their concerns, limitations, and hopes. I know that success abroad depends not only on language ability, but on emotional readiness, clear expectations, and reliable support.

At Job is Well India, my role is to ensure that every student and partner institution receives transparent guidance, realistic timelines, and consistent communication. I believe trust is built by doing fewer things—but doing them responsibly, carefully, and with long-term commitment to the individual’s well-being.

Director of Academics | Co-Founder & COO (Japan)

Kazuki Maekoba

My work at Job is Well is shaped by one belief: true preparation goes far deeper than exams or certificates.

My work at Job is Well is shaped by one belief: true preparation goes far deeper than exams or certificates. Before entering education, I served for six years in the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, where discipline, responsibility, and quiet perseverance were part of daily life. When illness ended that path, I was forced to reflect deeply on purpose and direction.

Through language exchange and teaching, I rediscovered meaning in helping others communicate, adapt, and belong. I became a certified Japanese language instructor and now work in a multicultural academic environment, constantly learning from different perspectives.

At Job is Well, I focus on academic quality and human readiness. I ask not only “Can this student pass?” but “Can this person live well, work well, and endure change?” My role is to slow things down where needed, build strong foundations, and ensure that every step forward is thoughtful, ethical, and sustainable.
