On october 4th I'll be travelling to Japan to study the language 18 months. By a misunderstanding with the study agency I haven't seen any sharehouse or job because I've though they're gonna help me with that. Maybe I went too confident but now I'm struggling to find a place to stay and a job to pay the bills
The agency told me to search any place located 15-20 minutes from a train station. I'll be studying at ALA School which is near Iidabashi Station so searching at borderless house the only sharehouse I could find is near an Oedo line station and costs ¥86000 including rent and monthly utilities, kinda unafordable to me, so I don't know if im doing the search wrong or I need to keep searching this time more far from Iidabashi station. Also the agency told me to rent an airbnb and seek recommendation at the school, I dont mind on staying in a mangaka café or capsule hotel for a couple of weeks until I find something, but I dont want to have the idea of making a capsule hotel room my permanent residence in Japan
And regarging about jobs, not only I'm seeking how to apply and where to apply, but also what kind of jobs can I apply. Despite having 10 years of software development at the moment I wanna rest from that and work in the service area like cafeterias, restaurant, delivery, etc…. I speak spanish and english fluently with a very basic japanese so I don't know what are the odds to get a job in Tokyo
So, any help or advice to seek an affordable sharehouse and how to apply for a job?
Note: I've read this post and there are some points that are gonna be helpful during my stay in Japan, so thanks to the OP and everyone who answer him
