Hi, I’m living in Tokyo for around 6 months and need to find a job (40 hours a week ish) to get by. Been looking primarily at:
1. Coffee shop/restaurant – would allow me to finish earlier on some days so I can have some free time in the evening.
2. Bar/izakaya – probably busier but more social? don’t mind it being busy but working til 11/12 all the time might be limiting in terms of seeing people after work, going to live houses etc.
3. Night shift bar/izakaya – probably not an option but pays well and seems like it would be fun, would be curious if anyone’s worked night shifts.
Would love to hear people’s experiences in working these kinds of jobs and how it affected social life, both inside and outside of work. I’m a Japanese citizen but my Japanese is only conversationally fluent if that helps. If there’s any other options I’ve missed then please add them as well.
