I am seeking opinions from all you lovely people. Basically I have been in Gunma on the JET program for four years and really like it here. I would like to stay in Japan and will likely have to switch to dispatch ALT work to secure my visa while I try to eventually find a better job. Right now I am thinking of two possible scenarios.
1)I stay in Gunma and work for a company like interac or borderlink. I will still have to move and change apartments after my JET contract.
2)I work for the smaller dispatch company called AtoZ in Nagano.
Was wondering if anyone had any insights or opinions. I know the companies are not great and I will use as a last resort so I can have a valid work visa. I don’t really know a whole lot about AtoZ but I imagine they are similar. I really like Gunma, but think it could be cool to have a new adventure living in a different prefecture like Nagano and experience more of Japan. I am not sure how the cost of living compares. Here in Gunma I have a 3k apartment for 50,000 yen a month.
Seeing as I will have to move either way, wondering if maybe I should try out Nagano?
