This video brought back memories… I lived in Tokyo from August 2018-January 2021! I remember when I was trying to find an apartment, I went with a Japanese friend to a real estate company, and the agent called about 50 landlords on my behalf… which I was denied to all but two places. It was soooo discouraging, but everything worked out in the end.

I would love to move to Japan! Have watched NHK for 2 years. Japanese have a great culture, family, friends & food. Have to figure out how to survive, what kind of work/service I can do (helping Elders maybe) & where to live in Japan. Starting my journey to learn to speak Japanese. Would love to move in 1 year but that might be a unreasonable goal. Japan is so beautiful. Many years ago I took a Japanese conversational language class. I loved it! Spent some time chanting Japanese Buddhism at the SGI facility long ago. I trained with Master Kimura in Karate in NJ decades ago. If you have any tips or help I would appreciate it. Thank you.

in the finding work section u said that the company usually doesn't hire u if u don't live in japan, but if we take me as an example (i'm italian and i'm currently living in Italy) if i want to move to japan i need a visa and to get a visa that can permit me to do a full-time job i need a sponsor from a company. So how can i get a sponsor for the visa if the company doesn't want someone that he isn't currently in japan but he's planning to? maybe if i specify this thing that i need the sponsor they'll consider me more?

Searching for rentals looks rather convenient. I'm also in Southern California and online searching locally has never worked out for me. Only overpriced places ("luxury apartments") typically come up in results or places that never answer or call you back. Then there's the scam that goes around where someone will rent you a place (or so you think) and take your deposit, except they don't even own the place. Sometimes several people/families show up to move in on the same date only to find the house is actually occupied by the people who truly own it. I've always had to just walk endlessly to spot a for rent sign. Why can't we also have everything online.

I don't know if it is coincidence or the creepy KZfaq algorithm, but I was literally just looking for monthly mansions from my hotel room in Japan. Living out of business hotels has become exhausting....and expensive. I notice when googling monthly apartment rentals that simply searching in Japanese queries a completely different set of search results that are far more affordable, whereas "luxury apartments" for foreigners cost 2-5x more.

Will you go to Heaven when you die ? Have you ever Lied, stolen, used Gods name in vain (such as OMG), Had sex outside of Marriage ? Truth is...We have all sinned and broke Gods laws. And sin is what sends us to Hell. But even though we broke Gods laws, God being rich in mercy sent his son Jesus born of a virgin. He lived a sinless perfect life something we could not do. He willingly went to the cross and took the punishment we deserve by dying on the cross for our sins. Then 3 days later rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds of eye witnesses and then ascended into Heaven where he sits at the right hand of God. So please today repent and put your Faith and trust in Jesus before its too late.
