Stories of life in Japan from Pakistan Follow the intuition and explore Japan with my PayPay buddies
I had never even thought about coming to Japan, but I became interested when a recruiter at PayPay contacted me. At that time, I received an offer from a European company as well, but I chose to trust my intuition and come to Japan.That intuition was correct. I believe that I could happily live here for the rest of my life.
I am basically a go-with-the-flow kind of person, but one concern I did have was how to find an apartment with the language barrier. But Luckily, PayPay helped me with most of the necessary procedures after entering the country!
Also, as a Muslim, I had concerns about finding Halal food options, but I didn’t have to worry at all because there are plenty of choices in almost every area in Tokyo!

I live in the Shinjuku area, and I like it very much. The residential area is very quiet and safe, and if you miss the hustle and bustle, you can take a train to the downtown area in just one stop. Moreover, it’s easy to access anywhere from Shinjuku Station.
Even though there are only around 20,000 Pakistanis in Japan, I didn’t get homesick.
There are desi (Indian/Pakistani) restaurants and exposure to homeland communities. Another reason is that I have met wonderful friends from different countries through PayPay. We go beyond being mere colleagues and sometimes meet up on weekends or go hiking together.
The best thing about PayPay is its open communication. Our meetings are very open, and everyone can voice their opinions. For example, an engineer can even disagree with a senior manager and let their opinions be known. I believe this leads to the creation of high-quality products without compromise. Everyone is friendly and maintains a professional attitude, and I have also made some great friends. I can wholeheartedly recommend this workplace!
