The name "GaijinPot" comes from "gaijin," meaning "foreigner" in Japanese, who come to Japan forming a “melting pot” of various nationalities. Initially a simple job board, GaijinPot grew, moving to Tokyo in 2001, and now serves over 6 million users as the top job board for foreigners in Japan. 2/3
Because we have to start somewhere here is our story: In the 1990s, our founders, two teachers in Nagoya, noticed the lack of information for English-speaking foreigners in Japan and created an accessible resource, launching the GaijinPot web page and forum on Feb. 12, 1999. 1/3
