How many remote jobs are available from Japan?
There are currently 773 positions that allow remote work from Japan. This number updates daily as new roles are posted.
What's the difference between remote and hybrid?

That varies by employer. Some companies hire directly in Japan, while others work through employer-of-record services. Check the individual job listing or ask during the application process for specific details about their setup in Japan.
