Welcome to the official website of the Japan Workation Association (JWA)!
Since our founding in July 2020, we have been actively promoting workation, remote work + travel, and digital nomad lifestyles across Japan.
Today, we are proud to host one of the largest workation networks in the country — with over 300 members, including individuals, companies, local governments, and international partners.
We truly believe in the power of diverse ways of working and living. And above all, we love Japan — its nature, culture, and people.
We are always excited to explore new collaborations with you. Let’s create something meaningful together!
