Why we built it

Sending organizations abroad — especially in Cambodia — struggle to find and compare credible Japan-side partners in their own language. Watari brings these organizations into one searchable place, filterable by residence status, industry, region and supported language.

How our listings work

Many entries are compiled from publicly available information and are marked accordingly; verified entries are managed by the organizations themselves after they claim their listing. Unverified entries do not display private contact details. We do not fabricate organizations or contact information, and we welcome corrections.
