Hey guys, got a WH visa and going to Japan on 30th of September and going to stay there for a year, until the visa expires, or at least plan to lol.
First of all, got a revolut card so I can have the right currency, but would it be better to apply for an account in Japan as well that accepts foreigners?(JP bank I think) Or can I pay for everything, bills, shopping etc. with revolut?
Also, what apps for android would you recommend or what is needed to make life easier? Public transport, food, tourism, jobs, anything would be appreciated.
What are your experiences with sharehouses? Was looking mainly at apartments but obviously they cost more. Not a fan of sharing a bathroom with someone else, but maybe you guys can persuade me and give me some good perspectives of sharehouses so I can save some pennies for other things.
And lastly, how should I go about getting a number there? Will double SIM work?(my phone supports it) Any foreigner friendly companies with cheap-ish mobile data plans?
Any other tips are also welcome! Am Polish, living in UK and moving to Nagoya! Booked a flight to Osaka due to an almost 50% discount I found so will need to get a train to get to Nagoya 😅
Sorry for the long post! Just don't want my first few days there to be a disaster with a massive regret lol
