Thinking about moving to Japan with Japanese wife and child
Good morning everyone. Little background. My wife is Japanese and we have been married for 6 years. We met when she was in the USA when she was working abroad. We have a three year old daughter. My wife has her 10 year green card. My wife currently is a stay at home mom in the states. We are in our mid 30s.
I know my wife would be so happy to move back to Japan. However, it’s difficult for me to make the leap. I’ve tried to study Japanese and learn the language but it’s very difficult for me. I’m concerned with our ability to move back to the states if we do not enjoy life in Japan. I know the green card is conditioned on being in the USA, so not sure how all that would work if we moved but then wanted to come back to USA at some point.
I’m sure I could find a job teaching English. But I’m not so much worried about the money as I am adapting to life in Japan without knowing the language. I’ve visited Japan three times over the past ten years and have loved my time spent their each time. I beleive if I emmersed myself in the country and tried learning the language as it’s my full time job it might be possible.
Does anyone have any insight or experience being in a similer situation moving to Japan with your significant other. Would appreciate any responses.
Question I have…is it possible to find a house in the country with a few acres at least? Her family is from Osaka so I have seen alot of the city but my main goal is to be able to have some land outside major city centers. We enjoy gardening and outdoor activities.
Ps sorry if this post is all over the place or if I left out any important information. I am torn over this decision but am ready to quit my job sell the house and convert out usd to yen with this attractive conversion rate.
