Moving to japan as a student

Hi! Sorry if this is a stupid question or something, i’m mainly just trying to get as much information I can.

I’m 16, currently in my last year of school and should be done with state board exams and get results by may-june of 2023. It’s always been my dream to move to japan and my end goal as of now is to find a well paying job in japan and hopefully settle there.

Unfortunately I can’t speak Japanese, so my options for universities are pretty limited. And due to my choice of subjects in my last two years of school,(i had subjects like business,economics and accountancy) i’m unable to pursue degrees in science which is what people typically study in japan for.

However since my end goal is to settle in japan, degrees from prestigious universities like utokyo or waseda will make it pretty easy for me to get jobs in japan(from what i’ve gathered on the internet)

But since my options are quite limited to begin with..( And I dont particularly find the PEAK program in utokyo very appealing) would it be better to pursue my bachelors + masters in a different country and then move to japan once I have more experience working in other countries? I wanted to pursue something in finance/accountancy but i’ve not been able to find any english based degree programs in japan that offer that. And japan is a lot more affordable than the other countries I have in mind.

I’m just conflicted on what road I should take to reach the same destination, which would be Japan. i also thought living in japan and interacting with natives would make it easier for me to learn the language as well.

I’m not sure about what career opportunities the PEAK program would provide me with or what it’s like. So if anyone is familiar, any and all guidance will be appreciated!!
