Hello, I'm currently in Japan on a Working Holiday Visa (WHV), and after spending some time traveling and exploring, I'm planning to start working. I'd like to know which sector would be the best to focus on-something compatible with the skilled visa so that I could eventually be sponsored in that field. I've already looked into agriculture, but it seems complicated, seasonal, and quite demanding.
Another option I'm considering is cleaning. I'd love to hear your feedback or experiences regarding these sectors, or if there are other fields that might be better. I have no restrictions on working hours, and I'm fine with physical or repetitive work.
Thank you for your feedback.

I would first figure out where you want to live, then what lifestyle, then look for any job that suits.
Full time work especially working for japanese people/companies can be quit demanding. If you are into cleaning, then I would go to a touristy area that’s not too busy (ski fields are a great option ) and look for work on the Facebook groups that are in the area! Good luck and please don’t let yourself get exploited!

Are you referring to the Specified Skilled Worker visa? This visa is available only for some nationalities. And since you are on a whv, the list of countries that offer both is short…
