[Nokutetsu]

I'm not planning on this soon (I can't, you have to be 18 at least) but I'm planning ahead it in the future.

Being a UK citizen, I can get a working holiday visa for up to a year, or stay in Japan for up to 6 months without a visa. Obviously, having a visa would be much more plausible for a longer stay. Whether it's for working or renting books/ DVDs ect, I think I'll apply for the visa when the time comes.

I'm studying Japanese, and I'm looking for a few questions to be answered.

Job: teaching English would be nice. However, living in Tokyo is just too expensive. I would like to stay in the Kanto region, but somewhere less expensive, eg Atami, or somewhere near by. I'm pretty sure I could eat cheaply, and rent a 1K apartment. I'm pretty good with money.

So what I'm wondering is, if I was to budget carefully and live in a 1K apartment outside Tokyo, could I survive on the wage of a foreign English teacher?
