so this is a odd ball question and I actually feel like knowing and trying instead of just saying like most do, but how does one find a way of moving to japan? and I'm not talking about packing my stuff up and flying there but as in how do you secure a job there so you can move there or what kind of experience or skills would you need to get a job there quick? I like japan and it's style of life but since I'm a oregonian lol it's kinda hard to even see if it's possible, just wondering

im not sure but i bet the best way would be to look online for some jobs in citys over there or try some house hunting forums and ask around there

Learning how to speak Japanese would be 1st thing Id do. Not being able to communicate with people sucks. (I hate walmart). Otherwise Id say itd be pretty much like moving anywhere else. Making ahead of time plans on where to live, where to work and in this case transportation. Once ya have that taken care of, then go.

Transportation will be more exspensive there than here. you have to pay a $3000++++ regristartion fee on your car every few years, they just buy a new car when that times come since it is cheaper. Thats how we can buy 30,000mile import motors from over there. The language is one of the hardest ones to learn in the world, i used to have a book to learn it with a long time ago but it got lost and it was hard to say most of the words. The life style is definetly different over there, they take alot of pride in their culture, if you disrespect them in any way it is nothing like over here when you yell a few words back and forth. Their lifestyle with work over their is a fast pace and very precise, not laid back like here. And as for the living, mostly apartments that are cramed together and you wont find cars parked on the streets, they have parking taxes and fees every where because of the garages in the buildings. Thats why most Japanese people walk, ride bikes or take a bus. I was born over there but to young to remember anything when both my parents were stationed in Okinawa Japan but I have always wanted to go back and check it out. Good luck on your decision.

I would find a way to spend some time over there before you made the leap. There are places I would love to go back to there, but I would never want to live there.

One thing to remember: The Japanese love everything American, but they don't like Americans...

Ya I understand how there lifestyle is, I had a freind that had came to the states just a few years ago and he told me all about it, the place I think I would like to live would be Osaka, it's fast pace yes but not as fast as Tokyo lol and walking or riding a bike is no issue with me lol but what web site would be good to look at so to see about jobs and again does anyone know what a good skill is to hopefully secure me a job quick

A good friend of mine is married to a Japanese lady and lived there for many years, both of his sons were born there, he moved back to the States because the cost of living is so high and jobs were getting scarce.
