Hey guys.

A friend of mine just got back from Osaka, and I've been offered a sort of 'deal' if you like, one that he's just partaken in.

He helped out at an animal shelter by doing dog walking, and in return was given free accommodation. I'd love to be able to study my Japanese cheaply, but of course, in Japan. It sounded like a good study opportunity

What I'd like to know, is it legal? Would that be considered work and breaking the terms of a tourist visa?
