It's simple really, you'll never really know until you do it...no matter if your initial interest in the country is realistic or not, you have to try it to come to a conclusion.

If you want to live in Japan, for whatever reason, then the only way you can gauge how well you'll manage to do so, is by doing it. Not by visiting the country, reading about it or watching it on t.v. You actually have to live there to be able to tell how well you'll be able to do in that country. Even if you're somehow guaranteed a stable and comfortable income, it is crucial to understand that living transcends financial capabilities.

It's just something you have to experience if you have the interest. It may work out for some, it may not for others and maybe some will have to adjust themselves and so on.

It happens no matter where it is you're planning to live.
