The company is known for its membership and loyalty platform, which connects many of its services through Rakuten Points. Rakuten has an international workforce and promotes English as a key internal business language, although Japanese is important for many Japan-based roles and customer-facing activities. Its culture generally emphasizes innovation, speed, ownership, and cross-functional collaboration. Employees may work in a fast-changing environment where new services, partnerships, and technology initiatives are developed rapidly.
Japan offers opportunities in technology, telecommunications, software engineering, consulting, manufacturing, finance, tourism, healthcare, and education. Tokyo provides the widest choice of international and corporate roles, while Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Sapporo also have active job markets. Japanese workplace culture values punctuality, preparation, teamwork, respect for hierarchy, and careful communication. Major cities offer excellent public transport, safety, convenience stores, healthcare, and varied food, though housing and commuting costs can be high in Tokyo. Rural areas provide a quieter lifestyle but may require stronger Japanese skills and access to a car. Foreign professionals normally need an employer-sponsored work status, such as Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services, and should secure a Certificate of Eligibility before arrival. A passport, residence registration, health insurance, pension enrollment, and tax procedures are also required. Employers may assist with relocation, housing, and visa paperwork.
