Pickup-And-Stay Quarantine Service for incoming Foreign Workers

Japan has some pretty strict quarantine procedures for allowing foreign workers to enter the country these days. How are companies getting new employees into the country safely and without putting tons of resources into adhering to these government procedures which can change at any moment?

Jobs in Japan is working with Hitotoki Travel to offer a service for employers to help ease the burden when bringing first-time foreigners to Japan. This will be especially valuable those employers that are too busy or those schools and companies in rural areas where it would be difficult to deal with the quarantine procedures and other COVID safety measures.

How Covid-19 Quarantine Procedures are making it difficult for Employers with incoming foreigner workers

The incoming person has the following issues that usually fall on the company to help them solve. They:

Cannot use public transportation
Have to be met at the airport
Have to quarantine in a hotel and be escorted there privately

Traveling to Narita or Haneda to do this and ensure everything is done can be VERY time-consuming and could possibly put yourself and others at risk (especially if done regularly for multiple new staff every month). This is much better outsourced to professionals who lower companies’ risk and reduce the amount of time investment needed to bring in new employees to Japan.

Why would you want to keep track of the complicated frequent changes to official government procedures when you can outsource it to our agent who does this easily every day, and has better bargaining power with hotels to save you money on booking quarantine rooms?

Have a refreshing and relaxing stay in quarantine!

The service includes:

Welcome & Greeting at the Airport (takes about 2 hours to take PCR test and clear customs/immigration)
Private Driver (required by health authorities) takes the person to the property (hotel)
Stay 15 nights (two weeks is actually 15 nights). Most properties have WiFi and the meal service is included with the plan.
