I got enrolled in ISI Shinjuku for the October intake this year. I still am not sure about where I will live, what job I should get, and the general do's and don't's of Japan. I wanted to know what the best localities and neighborhoods are for international students to live in. I'd prefer to live near Shinjuku as it's close to my language school, but I've heard it's hella expensive to live there. What are some closer but cheaper alternatives for me to find places to live in? I definitely don't wanna live in a share house cuz i have heard there are a lot of rules and restrictions. Also, what kind of job should I look for that pays well? I'm 22M, and I have a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering. I'm currently N3 level; however, I haven't cleared the level yet ( my exam is in 4 days!), but I can read 700+ kanji and can speak moderately as well. I was thinking of getting a job as an English tutor, but I'd like to find a job that can pay at least 1500 Yen/Hour Would love to hear y'all's suggestions
Hello everyone, This is my first post in the group, and it might be a little long, so please bear with me. :) I need some advice regarding student life in Japan as a foreigner. To give you a little background about myself, I've been studying Japanese for several years, and I am currently preparing for the JLPT N1 (I already have N2). I have been to Japan twice, attending a language school for two weeks on one occasion and for one month on another. (Please don't tell me that's too short a period of time—I already know that, but it was all I could afford back then.) My ultimate goal is to enroll in a Japanese university and study the Japanese language, specifically in the field of linguistics. I understand that, in addition to the JLPT N1, I will also need to take the EJU. I was wondering which path would be more beneficial: * Attend a language school in Japan that offers EJU preparation courses and is recommended by MEXT, or * Continue studying for N1 in my home country, obtain the certification, and then apply to a language school in Japan for EJU preparation before applying to university. My biggest concern with either option is the financial aspect. I really want to study at a Japanese university, but the process seems extremely challenging. I have also applied for the MEXT scholarship three times without success. I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through a similar experience or can offer some advice regarding my situation. Also, I currently take online Japanese lessons with native Japanese teachers, so I do have some speaking ability as well. Thank you all for your time!
Hello everyone! Not so quick question. My spouse and I, both 26 currently, lived in Okinawa for 3 years (2022-2025) and picked up the very minimal basics (Rōmaji only). We are currently looking at an opportunity to move back, but to mainland this time. I have my degree in project management, but it’s not what I want to do long term. I dream of becoming a doctor but obviously my current lack of fluency puts a major wrench into things. Upon researching, the Japanese government requires the highest level of language proficiency, N1, to be a licensed medical doctor. The jump from N2 to N1, allegedly, is its own feat in of itself since it introduces more intense vocabulary and dialogue. I would be tested on my language proficiency before I could even begin licensing exams. Before all of that, I would need to be generally fluent to even begin medical school in Japan. By year three, I must be able to speak, read, and write in all forms, introducing the need for N1 at this stage. A little background: My husband is fluent in both English and German. I only speak English. I have tried to learn German through him, but it never stuck. I don’t know if he’s just a bad teacher or I am incapable of learning another language. Maybe both. Maybe I wasn’t consistent enough. Maybe I wasn’t motivated because I didn’t ‘need’ to know German. Who knows. The point of all of this is to say, I am confident he will have no issues with this. I know Japanese and German are no where near similar, but he is insanely intelligent and can clearly learn other languages. So my question is, how long could it possibly take for me to get to the level I need? Everyone is different and I wouldn’t consider myself a sponge, but if you had to guess. Upon moving to Japan, my time would solely be focused on language classes and immersion, not casual learning and conversation. Has anyone who solely spoke English accomplished something of this nature? Not necessarily medical, but another career similar in complexity? Should this be posted in a different, more specific forum that I’m unaware of? I appreciate any feedback, advice, or answers from you all. I am open to any suggestions or questions as well. Thank you!
I'm planning to move to Japan through a language school, but every time I search anything about it, all I see are negative posts. People talk about how hard it is, how they regret it, how difficult it is to find a job afterward, and it honestly makes me anxious. Is it really all bad? Are there people who actually had a good experience? I know moving to another country isn't easy, and I'm not expecting it to be perfect. I'm just tired of only seeing the negative side. I'd really like to hear from people who genuinely enjoyed the experience or felt like it was worth it in the end.
Hey everyone, I want to study at a language school in Osaka or Kyoto starting this September or October. I am looking at doing either a 6-month or a 1-year course, and I absolutely need a **Student Visa** because I want to work part-time. I was told by my counsellor there is still time to apply right now and get in for the upcoming September/October term, and my financial documents/funds will be fully ready next week. Is it still possible to apply and get a student visa for September/October 2026 at this stage in late June, or are the immigration deadlines for student visas completely closed? Thanks!
Any agency how can do documents work , or should I contact the language School myself
