I'm born Japanese, currently living in Germany and want to work for up to a year in Japan after I graduate highschool (Get the German Abitur). I already speak the language quite well and would consider my vocabulary as my biggest flaw. I'm primarily aiming to gather life experience and further deepen my language skills before I start University and will most probably be 19 at the time I aim to work in Japan.
What possible job opportunities are there, that I could approach? Are there jobs I could pursuit with me being trilingual?
Thank you very much for taking your time

Possibly hospitality. You’re only planning on staying for a gap year, so you’re basically competing for baito.
Can you push your plans back a year and take a leave of absence during college? There are tons of internship opportunities and well paying flex time jobs for multilingual college students but not so many for high school grads.
You should go to a Japanese university. I recommend, studying a science and technology and going to master degree, finally you can get a offer from a global Japanese company as a entry level. This is a typical track which is most popular way to Japanese student to make a high salary. For international students, they can get generous scholarship for studying. If not, a living life in Japan can be very tough since low salary and cost of living in Japan.
I have a graduate school degree in Japanese university and currently working in a company.
Just get online and look at job websites. Find something you like and apply. I was pretty lucky got a job before I landed in Osaka. Don’t study at uni here. Go to toastmasters in Japanese. There are many clubs around Japan. From what I understand Osaka is having world expo next year and are hiring. You can always be an English teacher at a high school pays pretty bad but you will hanging out with kids your own age.
