Wasn’t sure what the title would be but I do have a quick question. So I’m indecisive on whether to teach English in China, South Korea or Japan. And my main question is how easy/hard would it be to become a small business owner in Japan? I understand a teaching visa won’t let me do that and I need to know the language. But this is more of a once I’m established type of deal. I’m going to teach English with the intention of starting a business within the next 2-3 years. Whichever country I choose will be my home country tbh.
My concern is how much capital will I need for Japan? Here in the states I would spend no more than a couple hundred dollars to set up a side income of a Mexican food stand and it does pay some bills, and I want to try that in Japan however, I don’t have 30-50k to spend and I don’t want to lose that kind of money if this side income flops. What do you guys recommend and if something like a food stand(very small scale) is even possible for a foreigner. Any input would be amazing!
