Design for Japan
Growing the UX Community in Japan
Design for Japan was started by a group of Tokyo-based designers to hold events and provide resources to help grow the international UX community in Japan and promote more collaboration between Japanese and international UXers. We hold regular events in Tokyo through Tokyo UX Meetup, and also hold UX workshops in rural Japanese communities. We also offer a guide for UXers considering a move to Japan.
