Your first step therefore would be to contact a prospective host researcher. (So please note that I'm advertising not positions that I have, but a scheme that you can use with me or other researchers in Japan as your host. Note also that this is not an official advertisement by JSPS either :) Some further notes: - Fellowships are awarded for a period of 12 to 24 months. - The fellowship will award: * A round-trip air ticket * A monthly maintenance allowance of approx. JPY 360,000 (I'd say this is quite enough for living even in Tokyo. Believe me, Japan is not an expensive place as is commonly believed!) * A settling-in allowance of approx. JPY 200,000, overseas travel accident and sickness insurance coverage, etc. In addition you will get your own grant money of max. JPY 1,500,000 per year, for your trips, computers, books, etc. Sounds OK, doesn't it? - There are two application paths: 1) through Open Recruitment in Japan; and 2) through an Overseas Nominating Authority, including the Royal Society (UK), CNRS (France), NWO (the Netherlands), etc. https://www.jsps.go.jp/english/e-fellow/long_list.html It seems that the latter path is often less competitive. In fact the common kind of post-doc positions (a PI gets them and he/she advertises them) is somewhat rare in Japan. Therefore many researchers, including myself, are waiting for your contact on an application of JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship! There are other funding opportunities for foreign post-docs as well; I myself would be very happy to seek opportunities for promising researchers with similar research interests.
