Not trying to be negative. I just want honest opinions.
Online videos always show the good side, but I want to know what was actually difficult after arriving in Japan.
Was it:
language?
work culture?
loneliness?
salary vs living cost?
bad company?
long hours?
And if you had the chance again, would you still come?

I work at a food factory in Saitama.
Honestly, the work itself is not complicated, but it’s repetitive and tiring. We stand almost the whole shift, and during busy seasons overtime can be 2–3 hours a day.
The hardest part for me was not the job. It was:
- cold environment
- early morning shifts
- fast work speed
- body pain for the first month
But after a while your body gets used to it.
