1. Need to be prepared for migration

Although it seems to talk a story without a dream from the beginning, I clearly say that this blog does not promote Okinawa resettlement. Migration to Okinawa is not always gorgeous, wonderful and a good life can be sent. Rather it is the reverse.

Certainly, if you immigrate to Okinawa you may spend a relaxing time in the beautiful sea. However, there are many demerits to Okinawan immigration beyond that, and many immigrants regret without noticing it.

According to the data of the Okinawa Migration Center, 20 thousand people have failed to migrate every year.

Perhaps, many of these migrants may have not turned their attention to the "regretted point" introduced in the next chapter.

2. Migrants regret

Let's summarize what the Okinawa settlers regret, the real experience of Okinawa settlers. If you can overcome this regret, you may succeed in relocating in Okinawa.

Different from mainland culture

After all, if it is a mainland, there may be some cultural differences, it may be tolerable with "acceptable range".

However, most of the people who moved to Okinawa regretted Okinawa culture which does not fit within acceptable range considerably.

One of the cultures the immigrants regret is exactly "Uchina time" is a unique culture of Okinawa.

What's Uchina time?

With the unique time sense of the people of Okinawa, we have the nuance "Let's do it slowly and do it slowly."

"Do not be discouraged and do it slowly" that suits me! "If you feel immigrated to Okinawa you will not regret it. However, if you are a tightly-minded businessman and keep time, perhaps you will regret the migration to Okinawa.

Because of this culture, it seems that there are many times late in time, it is nonsense to make it strict as "Why is it not on time!" It is told that "It's Okinawa here" and it can be seen with cold eyes ... It can not be impossible.

Those who are not good at this unique time may be only to regret stressing backward even if they migrate. Indeed, we need to find out if we can do well in this culture.

Struggling to find work · Low wage

According to the employment situation in Okinawa Prefecture, Okinawa's total unemployment rate is "3.2%" high as opposed to "2.4%" across the country. In particular, the total unemployment rate of young people aged 15 to 29 is "3.6%" in the whole country, while "4.7%" in Okinawa is very high.

In addition, the effective job offering ratio is "1.17 times" low number, apparently there seems to be a case where you regret to emigrate by struggling to find a job.

Moreover, even if you find a job, the wage is low, so it is expected that the standard of living will be lower. According to the Okinawa Times Plus data, the minimum wage was 893 yen(hourly) · the average monthly income was about 1600 dallars.

However, many people think that "wages are low, prices are cheap, so living standards do not change." However, it is not easy to go so that migrants will regret and return to the mainland.

High price

When I think about migration in Okinawa as "Because wages are cheap, prices are also cheap", I certainly regret and there are many people who regret.

In Okinawa, too much crops do not grow up due to the temperature and the strength of the sun. Therefore, many things depend on air transport from the mainland, prices are rising due to air transport costs.

When sending luggage to Okinawa, it is easy to understand if you imagine the indication "Separate fee will be charged." Considering taxes, utilities expenses, rent payments in addition to the price level, the standard of living will be considerably harsh.

If you immigrate, you may regret that "the life of your country was good".

Loose in time

This is due to the Uchina time of Okinawa, which I mentioned earlier, but it is not intentional to be late in time, there is no disgust.

Therefore, it is necessary to tolerate it with the idea of "Following the village when entering the village". Those who thought "There is impossible," we recommend that you continue to live on the mainland in order not to regret.

Okinawa is bad food?

Some people regret migration because "Okinawa is bad food!" However, there is not such a thing in fact, Okinawa has shopping center, etc. There you can also buy foods other than Okinawa.

Therefore, "Okinawa food = bad" is not appropriate and it is rude to Okinawan citizens as well. If you are anxious, let's actually go to Okinawa and make sure!

"Better than others" and "Your bad" are different.

Rent rate

According to the website of CHINTAI, the rent rate of Naha city is 50,000 yen. The highest rent rate was Nakijin village of 56,000 yen and the lowest rental rate was 42,000 yen in Nishihara-machi.

Compared with SUUMO, SUUMO was a cheaper rent price of about several thousand yen, but still Naha city is 42,000 yen in one room.

"It is the same as Tokyo Metropolitan Government!"

I knew it for the first time, but in this way Okinawa unexpectedly high rent.

If I take one third to rent for a monthly wage of 160,000 yen, it seems to regret surely for Okinawan immigration ....

Car is necessities

There are a lot of tourists in Naha city so you may not be in trouble to traffic there. However, those who move or immigrate to other places than Naha City have only a means of transportation as a mandatory vehicle.

Moreover, it is also necessary to pay the maintenance fee of the car with a cheap salary. Also, we can not go to other prefectures by car, and some people regret to emigrate feeling cramped in migration to Okinawa.

traffic jam

It is said that Okinawa is very heavy traffic among migrants because my car is essential. It seems that traffic jam occurs everywhere, it is expected to become a tired life rather than a gorgeous life.

In addition to traffic congestion, the bad manners of transportation manners in Okinawa are also known among migrants. Even though you escaped from stress and moved to Okinawa, those who do not want to stress further are encouraged to stay on the mainland.

Human relationship is narrow

Okinawa's human relations are too narrow, it is said that there are not many cases that "that person is my relative of my friend". Therefore, we can not say what we thought, but on the contrary stress may accumulate and I regret to emigrate.

Also, people in Okinawa seem to distinguish between themselves and mainlanders. This tends to be higher than elderly people.

Therefore, people who do not want to be distinguished will never regret human relations if they live in Naha City etc. where there are many immigrants!

Mold control・Anti-moisture

When immigrating without knowing the environment of Okinawa, it will surely be made public on the living side.

That is exactly humidity and mold control.

If you do not dehumidify firmly, important clothing and furniture will be full of molds and you will regret migration. Therefore, dehumidifying agent / dehumidifier is an essential item for relocation in Okinawa.

Measures against salt damage

Even if measures against mold are taken, since "Okinawa" is surrounded by the sea, "salt damage" is easy to occur, this measure is also essential. Because the car will also rust due to the influence, unnecessary expenses will increase unless measures are taken.

If you want to avoid salt damage, we recommend that you live in an area far from the sea.

３．Summary

So, how can we overcome the above-mentioned regret points and succeed in immigration?

It only has to imitate the life style of people in Okinawa.

Because the culture and the environment are entirely different from the mainland, the mainland's lifestyle is not suitable for Okinawa resettlement. Therefore, if you really want to immigrate to Okinawa, let's live up the lifestyle of the people of Okinawa.

If you do so, you should be able to live a fun migration without regretting your immigration.

Please send a fun migration life by all means!
