Build Your Future as Carpenter in Japan

Sawdust in the air, the sweet smell of fresh cedar, and the quiet pride of a perfect joint. That is the heartbeat of a Carpenter in Japan. NIHON KOKUSAI RECRUITMENT AGENCY INC. just opened the workshop door for carpenters who dream of timber. Your first paycheck could read ¥129,328 to ¥179,428—enough to send home, save, and still eat Kobe beef on Sundays. The ad went live on 3 November 2025 and locks shut on 2 December 2025. One year swinging a hammer, a high-school diploma, and a passport that opens borders—that is the only measuring tape they use.

Japan wakes up to wooden homes older than skyscrapers. Temples whisper in the wind, new cafés rise on bamboo scaffolding, and every renovation needs hands that respect the grain. Slip on the tool belt, bow to the foreman, and the city becomes your workshop. Ready to trade plywood for cypress and nail guns for gennou hammers?

One Year is Plenty

NIHON KOKUSAI keeps the gate wide so real builders walk through.

You belong on the crew if you:

• Finished high school—anywhere, anytime.
• Own one full year of paid carpentry (framing, finishing, furniture—anything that smells like pine).
• Read a simple drawing without squinting.
• Grip a circular saw or kanna plane like an old friend.
• Carry a passport valid past December 2025.
• Smile at the idea of free Japanese lessons every evening.

Men, women, anyone 18+ who leaves no splinter—grab your tape measure.

A Week That Shapes Wood

Monday 7 a.m. The train drops you at the site. The foreman hands you the assembly drawing: “Kitchen island, cedar top, dovetail joints.”

By Friday, the scent of success fills the air.

You will:

• Plane a beam until it slides home with a soft sigh.
• Cut tenons on the bandsaw, chisel mortises by hand—old school meets new school.
• Frame a sliding shoji screen that glides like silk.
• Convert a tiny Tokyo apartment with hidden storage no one else thought possible.
• Teach the apprentice why we measure twice and cut once.
• Sweep the floor, bow to the client, watch her eyes light up at the reveal.

Weekend, you soak in an onsen, muscles tired, wallet heavier, phone full of “before & after” pics.

The Yen That Builds Savings

¥129,328–¥179,428 drops on the 20th—tax-free. Overtime adds ¥1,800 per hour when the deadline looms.

• Shared ryokan-style house—tatami mats, kotatsu table, zero rent.
• Daily bento: salmon teriyaki, pickled veggies, green tea.
• Full health—clinic one train stop away.
• Yearly flight home—economy now, premium after renewal.
• 14 days paid leave + Golden Week off.

Save ¥80,000, send ¥ 60,000, and still ride the Shinkansen to Kyoto on your day off.

From Hammer to Harmony

A Carpenter in Japan is the quiet poet who writes in wood homes that breathe, furniture that lasts generations. ¥129,328–¥179,428 monthly is the starter plank; overtime, housing, and language classes are the finish nails. One year of honest work, high-school grit, and a heart for Japanese precision—that is your shinkansen ticket. NIHON KOKUSAI RECRUITMENT AGENCY INC. is holding the blueprint. Measure once, apply now, and build a life one perfect joint at a time.
