Any advice to plan a Japan working holiday?

Hi all,

I'm intending to try and do a working holiday in Japan next year for at least 6 months. I should have the money to last those 6 months if I live sensibly but ideally I wouldn't want to return home having eaten through a lot my savings.

But I'm struggling with how I can include part-time work into my plan and am looking for advice from someone who has been in a similar situation?

Apart from things like the JET program / Resort work (which seem like quite long-term commitments for how long I'd be there) it seems quite hard to confidentially know where/how I might be able to find work. My Japanese is conversational at best, I wouldn't be super confident needing to rely on it at my job. (which I appreciate is a bit limiting)

Does anyone have any advice on how to make a plan in advance that gives me the best chance of finding part-time work? Or any general advice for a working holiday in Japan where you aren't just burning money constantly :/

Thanks in advance 🙂
