## What it is
A community-curated directory of technology companies in Japan that hire remote workers, published as a static website (remotework.jp) built with Jekyll on GitHub Pages. Each company entry describes its business, tech stack, and whether it offers full remote work.

## Use cases
- find tech companies in japan that allow remote work
- list of fully remote engineering jobs in japan
- which japanese startups hire remote engineers
- research remote-friendly employers before applying in japan
- compare tech stacks of remote-first japanese companies
- find companies offering full-flex remote work in japan

## When to choose
- you are a developer or designer seeking remote employment at Japanese tech companies
- you want a community-maintained, free directory of remote-friendly employers in Japan
- you want to see whether a company offers full remote versus hybrid arrangements

## When to avoid
- you need an actual job application or ATS system - this only lists companies with links to their career pages
- you are looking for remote jobs outside Japan
- you need structured, machine-readable job data or an API - entries are prose descriptions in a static site
