Hi, I am looking to get a more sustainable long-term teaching job in Japan and so far the best options seem to be university teaching or working at an international school. I want to commit to doing my masters towards these pathways. With university teaching, however it is seldom written whether they can sponsor my visa, I've also heard that it's easier for organisations to extend an existing working visa than issue a new one.
I really want to hear from someone who has experience in teaching at universities in Japan – is teaching full-time or multiple part-time jobs a good gig? Would it be possible to eventually set up a good life doing this outside of major cities (I'd like to eventually live in Kyushu).
Any tips or advice would be very greatly appreciated.
