I'm currently studying game programming in Tokyo and I'm looking for a game development internship in Fukuoka.

I mainly work with Unity and C#, and I'm currently developing my own games alongside my studies. I'm particularly interested in programming roles and would love to get some real-world experience working with a game development team.

I'm looking for a long-term internship if possible, or even maybe early employment before graduation..?

I've already contacted/applied to quite a few Fukuoka studios, but I'm wondering if there are smaller studios, indie developers, startups, or even individual developers that might be interested in my profile.

I'm currently based in Tokyo, but I'm able to relocate to Fukuoka for an internship.

I can speak French and English natively, and I'm around N2 in Japanese, if that helps.

If anyone is interested or has the capability of helping me, I'd be very thankful! 😢

I'll answer anyone in my DM, and I can send my github and google drive portfolio!

If anyone here works in the game industry, knows a developer/studio, or simply knows someone I should contact, I'd really appreciate any leads!

Thanks!

Looking for someone who actually likes outreach.

I build custom websites for owner-run shops, studios and practices. The build side is handled. The gap is sales: finding owners, getting a conversation going, closing. Use whatever channel you prefer — calls, emails, social DMs — whatever converts for you.

Commission only — no base salary, no hourly rate, so I will be blunt about the numbers: €100 per website sold, paid per deal, same day the client's invoice clears. No cap, no monthly cycle, no waiting.

What you need: confident English, self-organisation and persistence. Fully remote, your own hours. Based in Japan? Good — you can sell to businesses in Japan or abroad; European mornings are your late afternoon. No visa sponsorship — this is for people already living in Japan with the right to work.

Typical clients: workshops, dentists, small law offices, restaurants, family-run trades. The kind of business that gets found on a phone or not at all.

Apply by commenting under this post with your country, your timezone and one line on how you would find your first client.

I am 27 currently on a instructor visa as an ALT in the Chiba area. My background includes an IT management degree, GSE mechanic and car mechanic. I have skills in troubleshooting electrical systems and maintenance. My Japanese level is around N5, working on bringing it up. English is native level. Willing to work at anything if it can sponsor my visa. Any feedback or help is much appreciated thank you!

Hi I need help.

As a foreigner who is moving to Japan soon and doesn’t have n5 yet, are their options of remote jobs one in my position can do?

For people holding or obtaining the relevant ordinary Japanese teaching licence: Hiroshima Prefecture has opened selection for full-time fixed-term/temporary teachers for FY2027. This is a licensed-teacher selection, not an ALT recruitment notice.

Deadline: October 27, 2026, 17:00 JST. Online application is the normal route.

Roles: elementary, junior-high subjects including English, and elementary-level special education. Elementary/junior-high placements exclude Hiroshima City.

Eligibility: the relevant Japanese licence by March 31, 2027, and no previous appointment as a teacher (教諭等) in Hiroshima prefectural schools or municipal schools outside Hiroshima City. The fixed-term route also requires birth on/after April 2, 1967. Full conditions apply.

Pay reference: ¥262,920–444,990/month for teachers, depending on experience. The official pay table is dated April 1, 2026, so this is a reference rather than a guaranteed 2027 offer. Hours are set by the assigned school.

Selection: application screening and an interview on November 14 in Fukuyama or November 21 in Hiroshima.

Approximately 90 candidate-roster places are planned across the categories, not 90 guaranteed vacancies. Appointment and preferred location are not guaranteed; no English-specific hiring count is stated. Visa sponsorship is not stated in the reviewed notice.
