Hello, I’ve been looking very very hard on how to move to Japan. I’m a 20yo male from the United States who currently works on cars for a living. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I need a bachelors degree for a work visa which simply means I can forget about continuing my career in Japan. I’m currently stuck on the usual language school yes or no dilemma I’ve seen on here so many times, but my questions from what I’ve seen are yet to be answered. I have never been to Japan, I have friends who are native Japanese that have moved over to the states as well as friends who have taken many trips so my knowledge on the country is limited to others experiences. I’ve been looking at taking a 10 day trip to see if it’s somewhere I can visualize myself for a very long time, but being 20 and having to get a bachelors degree I feel that it’s a waste of time to beat around the bush and just take a trip. Could I possibly just jump straight into language school and if I like the country reapply for an educational visa and attend university there or would I have to return and then go back? Is university there even worth it or should I just suck it up and attend here in the states? If that is a feasible idea then what are some good language schools to start looking into? Thank you to anyone who answers ahead of time!
