-OK I'M NOT LOOKING FOR ANY RELATED ENG TEACHING...
-FIRST I STAY IN MY FRIEND HOUSE FOR THREE DAYS AND WITHIN IT WHICH WITH THE HELP OF MY FRIEND LOOKING ANY JOB
-IF I GET A JOB THEN WETHER LIKE IT OR NOT I STAY WITH THE JOB AND AFTER I GET THE CONTROL OF THE LIVING LIFESTYLE AND THE SITUATION A BIT I'LL GET ANOTHER JOB IF I THINK I SHOULD MOVE TO ANOTHER JOB
-I'LL SHOW MY PERMITTED VISA (FREE OF CHARGE TO APPLY FROM MY COUNTRY) TO THE EMPLOYER TO CONFIRM MY LEGAL STAY IN JAPAN
-I'M APPLYING ONLY THREE DAYS VISA SO IF I GET A JOB WITHIN THREE DAYS THEN I SHOULD EXTEND THE VISA AT MY COUNTRY'S AMBASSADOR OFFICE IN JAPAN FOR THE NEXT THREE MONTH. THIS IS BECAUSE THE MORE DAYS I'M APPLYING STAYING IN JAPAN, THE MORE MONEY PROOF (TO BEAR STAYING IN JAPAN) THEY ASK ME TO SHOW THEM LIKELY AN ACCOUNT BANK OR CREDIT CARD.

Answer 1

♡Well you already asked this question and I already answered it. I'll just keep it brief, having expectations of coming to Japan and changing your life into a better lifestyle with better income is NOT realistic. Sorry to say, but it's true. Of course the salary is higher here, but so is the cost of living! You must have a job already lined up BEFORE you come to Japan on a WORK VISA. There is loads of paper work to fill out and many things to take into consideration...place to live, finding someone who will actually rent you a place to live, being able to support yourself, telephone, electricity, gas, water... And no, some people do not find jobs here, it's just not that easy! It's difficult to find a place to live for some "foreigners" in Japan too. Japan is a great and wonderful place and I love living here and all, but I don't think you have a realistic view of it. I'm not trying to be mean here, just open your eyes to some important things. If you're really serious about coming here, as you say call the Japan Immigration office at any of the numbers listed at the site below:

OR: http://www.mofa.go.jp/feedback/index.html#4_3
(Best one is the Tokyo Office)
They speak ENGLISH. Tell them what you have in mind and they will tell you THE FACTS! It will save you a lot of time and trouble.♡

Answer 2

Calling people names only shows you're very immature...Not a good start. No Japanese business would tolerate games. The most "easy" job to get is teaching English. And those jobs require you to have a BA degree. It's not as easy as you seem to think it is. It's not like getting a job in NYC. "Escape" is an interesting word to use. Many landlords won't rent to a non-Japanese. You'd also need a work visa to work there. What makes you think Tokyo will offer you a "better life style", or a "better job" ? I'd suggest you wait a couple of years. Give yourself time to grow up pass the name calling stage. And go to school ! McDonald's does'nt pay very well there either. Sorry, it's not going to happen in two months. Get real...

Answer 3

Hurmm... I have been there for Homestay Programme. Of course, Metropolitan Tokyo is the greatest urban city in the world. Matter or fact the capital of Japan have lowest crime rates and pollution degree.

The main thing here is your proficiency in Japanese language and bare in mind Japanese didn't bother about other languages because they could be the greatest country only by their own language. This is their identity. So, if you don't have sufficient Japanese proficiency, please do so. Moreover, you decides to work and live there.

Working environment would be a big different and you might meet what we called "culture shocked". There's too many things to talk about but I just could give you the outlines;

If you're a women, don't go work in Japan because there is a job discrimination towards sex.
Rushing hour from 8 to 10am and you need to walk as fast as you can and you could be lost in the ocean of human-beings.
If you're still young, you'll not have much free time which means your holidays is lesser than the older workers.

Answer 4

Tokyo is the capital of Japan, and the place where over 13 million people live, making it one of the most populous cities in the world but also, a big city to visit, find out more with hotelbye . Most of the city was devastated by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, and then again by the bombing in the WWII, however, Tokyo was able to achieve a remarkably rapid recovery both times. The main attraction of Tokyo is the Imperial Palace with its beautiful 17th-century parks surrounded by walls and moats. The palace is still in use by the Imperial family.

Answer 5

what is pakemono? is that Bakemono? Yes ,sure you can get a job when you gets there, but how long you gonna wait for response for job application and who are the people who will hire you . Anyways, good luck and gambatte..

Before going there, do you think you need supporting papers to show to immigration, just like what others do? or show money that you can provide yourself or a guarantor. They are really strict there and before you get a job, going to interviews or looking for better job, you would really need money to start. Or you can either look for host family first, in that way they could help you start and decide what job you would do or has any openings so that you can save the cost of living alone for the first time in Japan....but nothing is easy there, it won't change your life but it would help you learn more about the culture and life.

Answer 6

Couple of Questions.

1) Do you have a BA or higher degree?

2) Are you ready to put up with a lot of BS?

3) Are you ready to make more, but spend more too?

I was making almost twice my salary in Japan then the U.S. and spend three time more in Japan.

If you have a degree you can teach English, but you also have to put up with the board of education and the Japanese teachers.

Answer 7

Look on Dave's esl cafe for a job or look up Jobsinjapan.com.

I just left Japan in February and was there for three years. Another great country to work is Korea.

Gambatte koudasai! (Good luck)

Answer 8

Unless you have a BA degree, your chances are less than zero...Unless you want to work on a farm of some kind. Then it's usually for little more than room and board. BTW, Tokyo is one of the most costly cities in the world to live in.
