Welllllll, if you get your undergrad degree, you could apply for the Monbukagakusho scholarship for those who want to work on their Masters in Japan. It is alot, and you would get to go to a language school for about 6 mouths, I think. Otherwise, you could try for scolarships from your country to go to school in Japan...or try to work in Japan with a visa...you could do NOVA or JET (English teaching) if your English is good enough. You would get paid while your in Japan (I know JET requires a B.A. I don't know about NOVA).

If you didn't want to stay there for as long as those programs would require (about 2 years), then you would probably just have to get a job where you live and save. I wish I could tell you an easier way...

I do think there are work holiday visas, too, for working for short amounts of time in Japan, but, I think you must already have a job lined up (I could be wrong).

Do it the same way you would get money for anything else.
Just because the money is for Japan doesn`t mean it will be any easier to obtain than money for other things.

Work. Save. Repeat.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.

I'm a consultant. My job causes me to travel a lot so I get a ton of frequent flyer miles. A round trip ticket to Japan from Dallas, TX costs 50,000 miles.

My trip to Tokyo only cost me and my wife 86 bucks. I have over 200,000 miles saved up. The most expensive part of our trip was the 400 bucks I paid to the kennel that babysat my two dogs.

I don't think there is any "special" way to get money to travel to Japan. Unless you hit the lottery, or turn into a foreign exchange student, and travel there to learn. (I think that you'd get a discount or something by doing that)
but other then that, all you can really do is work your butt off and save cash, and not spend it. Put it in the bank, or hide it somewhere!
