Question

Since a young age i have been deeply connected to japanese culture and wish to move there. Im a otaku, japanese swordsman, martial artist, and a eastern philosophy reader.

Please assist me, its my dream to more there and should i need to break my back working so be it~!

Answer 1

best chance you got is an exchange program through college. while in college, take basic japanese. then see if there's a sister school so you can transfer for a year.

Answer 2

Join the Airforce!

My Boyfriend Joined the Airforce last summer and he was sent to Japan Jan. of this year and is stationed there for 2yrs.

He loves living there. Plus the military pays for your housing and many other things.

I am leaving for Japan tomorrow to go stay with him for a month!

My Dream has always been to travel the world and live all kinds of places, meeting all kinds of people and learning so many different things. :)

Answer 3

There are ways you could do it, but it would take money. You could get a cultural visa and study martial arts or go to Japanese language school. You could attend one of the English language universities in Japan like TUJ. A cultural visa would entitle you to work 20 hours a week, but you would still need a fair bit of cash to get started.

Answer 4

Your English is not good enough to be an English teacher, and your Japanese is not good enough to enroll in a Japanese university or company.  

Option A) Get a bachelor's degree, learn proper English and Japanese, and try to find a job that will sponsor a work visa

Option B) Marry a Japanese

Option C) If you are American you can join the armed forces and hope to be placed in Japan

Since it's your dream and you are willing to "break your back" to do it, any of the above should be possible for you, but it will take time.

Answer 5

You need a 4 year degree to get a working visa, and the easiest to get is teaching english (which you still need any 4 year degree to do). So since you can't get a working visa right now...other options-marry a japanese, go to a university and get a student visa, or go to a language school (but not all sponsor visas) and get a pre college visa.

Answer 6

You just can't move there with no money ! You would need to have a job waiting for you. You need a four year degree to get a working visa.

  Sorry,but at this time I don't see this happening..

Answer 7

Simple. You can't. Sorry. You need a four year degree to qualify for a work visa. And a solid job offer as well.

  Japan does not allow people to just move there. They have a very closed immigration policy. If it were easy to move there, I would be there myself.
