Thinking about moving to Japan as a young athlete – looking for advice

I'm 14M who recently started to think about a better Country to live, which has a good investment in: sports, safety and a good industry as a plan b if my sports carrer doesn't work.

I don't really know other options in the world, but as I'm researching for it, Japan get on Top of my list, everytime. I've already thought about Italy for example, but the rural areas of Japan (specifically) gets me more than it. So i'm writting this to see if it's worth it, and the requirements to get in. What I already know it's that there are to types of visa's that would serve in my case. 1. The Students Visa – The most expensive, but the most guaranteed one. 2. The Sportist Visa – The hardest one, but chepeast. I would choose the first one by the teen dream, the dream of being doing High School there, but the realistic way is the second one. I'm finishing the 9th grade and thought if was possible to be doing High School there in 2027. Important to say that I don't speak Japanese, but i started to do Duolingo (not the best, but a start) and trying to improve it.

So I'm writting this to get some advices and other pov about the life there in Japan and about the sports too.

Also, if you guys could give me any suggestions of other countrys that could be a good destination to, i would be delighted.

ps: This is my first post here on reddit and English it's not my home language, so sorry if it wasn't that clear, i did my best 😛
