Moving to Japan to teach for NOVA

Hello everyone,

  1. I will be coming to Japan to teach for NOVA. My recruiter said he would be applying for my Certificate of Eligibility (COE) soon. I have a few questions about coming to Japan:

  2. What is the best way to exchange USD for yen? From what I have read, people use Wise, but I have also heard mixed reviews about it. I’ve also heard that you can exchange USD for yen at airports. Which option is the best?

  3. I’m aware of the negative experiences some people have had with NOVA, but I’m using this opportunity as a way to get into Japan. I chose the employee contract because it seems to be the best option.

  4. I need help finding a good site to look for an apartment. I’m currently considering GaijinPot, but I’d like to know if there are other sites that are especially good for foreigners. I haven’t received my placement yet, but I’m looking for my own apartment due to the negative experiences some have had with NOVA's housing.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
