I've not been to japan but a good rule of thumb if to carry the least amount of cash possible and keep valubles in a safe place i know its common sense but youll be suprised at the amount of people who carry wads of money in an area they dont know.I think the crime rates are really low anyway

Oh, I hope you have a good time!
In Japan, the crime level is very low, but that doesn't mean that one should be oblivious to everything going around them (of course). A good way to keep your costs down is to stay at a hostle. A famous one in Japan is Sakura House, it is a national chain and they serve good cheap food and have programs for going and seeing things in groups. They also seem very clean. As for a job in Japan, that might be alittle more difficult to do if you are wanting to travel around. You would first need to apply for the appropriate visa (Samokan put some really helpful links about visas on this thread: http://www.japanforum.com/forum/japa...resources.html) Then finding a job for just a short amount of time would be another issue, but probably not impossible. One thing that may be a good idea is teaching English to get paid (JET, NOVA, google :P) But, of course, you would be tied down a little more on I know for sure JET requires a BA or BS. As for travel, I started a travel tip thread, http://www.japanforum.com/forum/japa...-tip-page.html That might help you alittle more... Ask more questions, lots of people on here can help! Thats all I can think of right now :P |

If you don't know Japanese very well, or at all, you might want to educate yourself for a bit. There are plenty of threads on here to help you learn the language. Even though English is the most used language in the world (I think?) a lot of Asians, know it, but a lot don't as well. If you go, which island are you thinking about visiting?
And which seasons are you looking forward to the most? If I was to go, I'd want to go in the winter, and early spring when the Sakura trees first bloom. |
