Hello everyone,
So i just finished my studies and graduated from a master in management. I went to Japan for a month and I would like to try and to go and live there. My plan was to go, learn japanese for two years in a language school and then find a job.
So far i don’t know a lot of japanese (5-6 basic sentences) and as I can only apply to part time jobs there i’m not expecting to get more than the minimum salary (something around 1000yen per hours which would be 112 000yen per month).
At the same time dormitories for the school i’m interested in start at 75 700yen per month. So i have two questions:
\- Are the 36 300yen left each month enought for someone living alone in Kyoto ?
\- For those who have been in a similar situation, did you managed to get more than the minimal salary, if so which jobs did you do ?
\- Also is it difficult for a foreigner student to find an apartement ? Heard it is from few youtubers but would like to know what you guys think too.
Sorry if my english was bad btw !
