I have been searching the costs of a homestay in japan and it all really seems alot for people of such a young age to be able to afford, there fore i think there must be a way of doing something to be able to afford it i.e working while living in japan. i am very new to this idea and would love to be able to visit japan to learn the japanese language but i really cannot afford it say if i wanted to go for 6 months to a year. is it possible to be able to work while studying and what process would i have to go through to be able to do that visa wise. do i have to have a degree before i can go and start studying?
