So, my current plan is to save up for 2 years of language school in JP to hopefully ace N2 (or maybe even N1, currently I have N5 omw to N4). I was told by a Gaijinpot employee that it would be no issue to continue my job as a freelance illustrator while studying in JP, as long as I comply with the student working hours, so that's great.
Now, while I love my job, it's nothing I can do if I plan to stay in JP for a longer while (after language school) because it doesn't make enough to fulfil the visa requirements for self employed workers unfortunately. But, I thought it might be nice to have a job in tourism, as an english, japanese or french guide maybe. I have a bachelors degree, but not in tourism or anything close to it, so do you think I would be able to find a job in tourism that would pay enough to grant a work visa?
Technically I don't care where I'd live, though I was offered a free apartment in Toyako Onsen, a small town in Hokkaido, by a friend… I imagine the hotels there might look for workers but idk if they'd accept someone without prior experience into a position that pays at least 22万円 for the visa…
Does anyone have experiences or references in that sector?
