Moving within a week for language school! Seeking advice on arrival procedures

I’ll be moving to Japan in about a week to attend a language school, and I want to make sure I’m prepared for the first steps after arrival.

I will be living on the edge between Tokyo and Chiba.

From what I understand, I’ll need to:

– Register my address on my residence card at the local city hall

– Enroll in national health insurance

– Handle pension enrollment

For those who’ve been through this before:

– Are there any other procedures I should expect to handle in the first few weeks?

– What advice do you wish you had known before relocating and starting language school? (e.g., paperwork surprises, daily life hacks, money saving tips)

– Any tips for finding a part time job?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences and any tips that you think will be helpful.

Thanks in advance!
