I (25m) live in California currently, I work in IT with about 4 years experience. My mother is from Japan and her entire family is in Tokyo and my father (Caucasian) lived in Japan for 10 years in his 20s and mastered the language for a foreigner. With this combination, I’m lucky to have spent my summers in Japan going to school and experiencing the culture. Fast forward 10 years, I’m back in Japan for vacation and I forgot how much I love it here. I can pass as Japanese looks wise but my Japanese language is rusty and I need to work on it.
With all this said, my plan is to get a remote job in IT or try to scale my online side hustles to the point that I make enough income to live in Japan without taking up a job in Japan.
The reason I want to move is for the experience, the dating, and to learn more about Japanese History.
Any advice appreciated, what else do I need to consider here and does my plan sound alright?
