I have got my student visa, does anyone know if it’s fine to just go early and stay at a hotel until I move into uni accommodation or would I be denied entry ? I’m planning on staying at hotels a month before to travel. I would be at hotels for 25 days before moving into uni accommodation, would this be alright ? I asked at the embassy and they said it’s fine to enter Japan within 3 months from the issued date but I am still worried.
Has anyone else entered earlier than their course date? Anyone know if it’s okay to go?

Yeah that’s fine.
I called immigration about this and they told me I should not arrive more than 14 days before my course starts, because you need to register your residential address at your local city hall within that time frame. We are talking your term time address, not a hotel.
