About participation fees GAHOJIN brings together people who live in Japan and people visiting from abroad, regardless of nationality. With the weaker yen in mind, we offer a Japan-resident rate and a visitor rate to help make participation more accessible to people living in Japan. These rates are based on where you live, not your nationality. International residents of Japan are also eligible for the Japan-resident rate. Starting with our November events, we have adjusted some Japan-resident participation fees from those offered in October. Prices vary by event, so please check the individual event page.
