Hello bluecrystal,

Welcome to the forum. I don't know that much but I will try to help. Someone
like Nyororin can provide much more detailed information for you.

Is it easy for him or both of us get a job in Japan?
With a degree you husband can teach English in Japan. I don't know if he wants to do that but it's an option. May I ask why you want to move to Japan? Do you have a degree yourself?

Is there schools & kindergartens especially for English speaking kids? What about the yearly cost?
Yes, they're international schools. I'm not sure how much they cost. I do recall
Nyororin said that daycare wasn't that expensive.

I always feel Japan's such an expensive place. Is it better to buy or rent a house? What about the price? I ideally want to live in a place like 2 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 bathroom and 1 kitchen.
It depends upon where you want to live. Obviously Tokyo is going to be expensive but I'm sure you can find reasonably priced housing. As far as buying or renting...it really depends on how long you want to stay.

For renting you can take a look at this place:

Rental house in Japan - Leopalace 21

They're designed to make it easy for foreigners to rent apartments.

Do you or your husband speak Japanese at all? If not start learning.

Side note: Are you Chinese-American or Chinese? Just wondering because your English is great.
