Hi all – my 21 year old son spent a month at a language school in Fukuoka when he was 16, then took 2 years of junior college Japanese class back in California. He has been working as a front desk clerk at a hotel since graduating from high school and does not have any further college education. He would like to go to Sapporo on a travel visa and see if he can find a job there that would sponsor the work visa. I have tried to encourage him to start with another language school (this time in Sapporo) to ease the transition but he really wants to "wing it." My question is what are his chances of finding a job that pays enough to live alone in Sapporo and is looking for a job once he's there the best way to do it? He HAS applied for several jobs online from home but has had no response. Thoughts?
