Need advice about studying hotel management and learning Japanese before moving to Japan

Hi everyone,

I’m from India and planning to move to Japan in the future. Right now, I’m focusing on two things — learning Japanese and studying hotel management.

I’m doing a 2-year hotel management diploma, and at the same time, I’m learning Japanese. My current goal is to pass JLPT N5 first, then N4, and later reach N3 before applying for jobs or further studies in Japan.

I have a few questions:

1. Roughly how long does it take to go from N5 to N3 level if I study seriously while doing my diploma?

2. Is a hotel management diploma (2 years) from India useful for getting a job in Japan, or should I study something similar there instead?

3. What kind of part-time jobs or entry-level hotel work can foreigners get in Japan while improving their Japanese skills?

4.Any general advice for someone planning to move to Japan from India through this path?

Any suggestions, real experiences, or study tips would be super helpful. Thanks in advance! 🙏
