HOW TO MOVE TO JAPAN

7-Step guide to move to Japan

Want to move to Japan? Here's how you do it, step by step guide.


1.) Start learning japanese. Doing so is not actually hard
a.) Download Anki: ankiweb.net/
b.) Download the 6,000 core deck for japanese: djtguide.neocities.org/anki.html and follow the instructions to install it
c.) Set up your anki deck for 20 words a day, and up to 9999 reviews a day (you won't actually see 9999 reviews a day). this way you can learn all 6,000 words in under a year.
d.) Join any of the countless japanese language learning generals on Sup Forums
(beginner)
(intermediate)
(anime weeaboo trash)
pick which best suits your needs

2.) Start tae kim's grammar guide which you'll be using in conjunction with Anki
a.) guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar

3.) Finish tae kim's grammar guide and all 6,000 words by September.

4.) It's time to choose which JLPT you're taking. If you took japanese seriously and started TODAY from THIS VERY POST, you could be N3 ready by October. Check the registration deadlines.

5.) Take the JLPT you useless sack of shit. N5 if you didn't study at all i mean what the fuck, N4 if you're a slowpoke, N3 means you actually studied. Good, N3 means you're on your way to Japan

6.) Pass the JLPT. If you took the N3, you will be able to get yourself N1 ready by next year by studying at the same pace you are now. Since your 6,000 core deck is settled, grab a 10k core deck. You will start practicing actually writing the kanji from here on out, so grab something like 'Remembering the Kanji' since you'll probably need it by now. If you didn't take the N3, you should aim for the N2 next year. That's right, you're skipping the N3 you didn't take. Up your study, bitch.

7.) With a bachelor's degree and N1, you can now move to Japan. Congrats.

>trusting a Jap after what they did

Nope

>OK! I HAVE A N1 AND A BACHELOR'S DEGREE

>NOW WHAT?

Congrats. If you have a N1 and Bachelor's Degree, you are closer to Japan than 99.99% of Sup Forums will ever be.

Now you must decide on which visa will get you into japan.

I highly suggest post-graduate study. Japan will actually pay you money to study in japan on certain degrees, so if you have a research major of some kind, apply to japan right the fuck now and get $1,500/month as long as you can pass the EJU.

Or, you can join JET to teach in Japan. However, 80% of japan applicants suffer from severe autism and ruin it for the other 20%. Hope you aren't one of those fucks!

Or, you can just job search in Japan right now. Go on a site like Gaijob and try to fish a job in japan. With an n1 and bachelor's, you'll be able to find a job catered towards your degree that will get you into the rising sun

Finally, your last option is marriage. While studying Japan, try to make friends with a japanese girl you met somewhere. Maybe a language exchange site? A marriage visa can technically get you into the country without a bachelor's degree, but you'll still want the degree and N1 anyway to make the jobsearch easier.

Just make sure you respect Japan's cultures or customs, or you can get the fuck out

Thanks OP. Followed your guide and teleported to Japan instantly 10/10 top shelf inari

>mfw I'm a slowpoke
Beteen Uni and work i don't have Much rime to study japanese safly.

>moving to japan

Smelly, dumb weeb scum

Also if you're a fresh graduate consider getting in touch with recruitment agencies such as Disco, Top Career, etc. I got a Tokyo-based job in the energy sector this way.

OP I got a bachelor's but not the N1 and I'm here now what

Make time

it's time to stop playing videogames user

>muh japanese waifu
Real life isn't like anime.

Get the kentei 1 you bitch

your japanese learning doesn't stop when you enter japan. it's only just beginning

This only works for Americans. If you're not, you're Shit out of luck. You will never be able to move there unless your company is a multinational and decides to transfer you there.

it's better to visit Japan then live there unless you want to be the Japanese equivalent of a nigger

N1 is a meme. Having good pronunciation and vocabulary has nothing to do with N1 which is basically a glorified esoteric Kanji exhibition.

What if I was too dumb to even get a bachelor's?

Gtfo Tokyo is already full of useless teachers swarming English pubs and picking fights.

Stay the fuck in your shithole

Why would I move to a country that sees me the same way I see niggers??

They don't. It's only the obnoxious weebs who get treated that way. Anyone who speaks decent Japanese and doesn't look like a fat piece of shit gets treated normally.

you do know why the N1 exists, right?

It's so people can test their japanese skills to make sure they can function in japan

it's possible to skip the N1 but your life will be harder than someone that has the N1. This is fact.

in my opinion, the more credentials you can brag about on your job applications/resume, the better.

B-but I need mg daily our of playtime!

Who in the hell is actually stupid enough to live in japan?
The work environment is straight hell there and even if you work your ass off you will only be able to afford a shoebox because everything crowded.

Yes and no.

You will never be treated like a they treat a Japanese person.

You will forever be regarded as a gaining.

>Start learning japanese. Doing so is not actually hard

Nope. no more videogames for you. when your japanese study is far enough you can start playing japanese videogames so playing videogames is the same thing as studying japanese. imagine that!

The Japanese treat each other like Shit though. That's fine with me. Every slant eyed fuck knows to worship the white man. We're like 40cm bigger than you on average. If you fuck around, you get killed.

aside from architecture, aesthetics, food, anime, electronics, gaijin lovers and few other things, japan is shit.
Their work ethics is insane.

>Coming from a country that is getting eternally cucked by Turks and Yugoslav

Lol you insecure cucks never ceases to make me laugh

I- i'lltry, sempai!

I ate them with a passion, but you? Complete indifference. You're less than irrelevant. The only thing your country does well is make incest porn. Thanks for that.

>The work environment is straight hell there and even if you work your ass off you will only be able to afford a shoebox because everything crowded.
Guess I must've gotten lost. Could've sworn I was living and working in Japan.

fucking pathetic betas finding anyway to escape their homeland and move to muh anime island and race mix.

get a fucking grip. we don't want immigrants, neither do they.

YOU WILL NEVER BE ACCEPTED AS A JAPANESE.

youtube.com/watch?v=5uC4AUyju7k

How many hours would you be expected to work in a regular job
There is no such thing as a 9-5 there is there?

...

You are demanding Arab and Turkish cocks with a passion huh. Not surprised coming from a cuck.

You dream to go to Japan you insecure cuck, admit it.

Thats because you are fat weeaboo retard

You can't learn Japanese.

I work from 9 to 18:00. But most of the time I leave at 21:00~21:30 thiugh....

...

Westerns can experience some sort of japanese relationship if they try, though.

I mean the type of relationship where a girl would call you -chan.

If you seek that shit you'll find it. Eventually.

While you will always be an outsider to japan, and nobody will ever consider you a true japanese, you can be perceived as something more than just an outsider if you try hard enough.

FUCK OFF

WE'RE FULL

Sure it's good for bragging on your credentials but I know plenty of people who can barely put a sentence together in Japanese who have N1.

It is NOT a conversation skills test. It's a memorization test for Kanji and grammar 70% of which you will not use in even a business setting.

I don't have N1 (as I'm sure you've guessed) and in the 3 Jobs I've applied for in Japanese (that is the interview was exclusively done in Japanese) it has never come up. If you're doing translation work sure you'll need it but translation works sucks and I don't recommend it to anyone.

I work 08:30 to 17:30 with a 1hr lunch break and short coffee breaks whenever.

Sometimes I work overtime if we need to organise projects with our European offices, or if there is some urgent matter at hand. I have never worked more than 1hr of overtime though, not counting business trips.

Fuck off, Tojo

What are you working in Japan?

No you're not you delusional english teacher. You need 200.000 of us on yearly basis

Damn son, that's like full on slavery!

If I commit seppuku will I be reborn Japanese?

Same. Only newbies and idiots who picked super Japanese companies to work for and don't know how to tell their bosses to shove it work crazy "Salary Man" hours. I've been straight up with my bosses and said "Sorry I'm not Japanese, I won't work unpaid overtime"

>tfw you're english teacher and you can go and fuck japanese bitches whenever you want.

8.) LARP as a Japanese on /pol with low-energy bantz targetted at the Koreans.

are really japanese? or proxyfaggots/gaijins?

I never saw a true japanese on Sup Forums

Ants

I'm back right now for a master's degree (full ride scholarship) but I've worked as an interpreter and consultant before. Along with various other minor jobs mostly in sports industries.

Get an American passport first, not hard for Europeans, especially after Trump

No one needs 200,000 Italians.

No one needs 2 Italians.

Don't your Jap coworkers resent you?

White pig must breed with nippon

You can, but good luck finding a girl that loves. Out of my 9 foreign friends who married a Japanese, 8 of them divorced. Japanese girls feelings are so much more dynamic than foreign girls. Most of their actions and decisions are influenced by fads, desires, etc..

Very few girls who legit don't mind whether you are a foreigner or Japanese

Get out of the country weeaboos

The Monbukagakusho is only given to 4,000 people every year

do you know how lucky you are

>Be Mexican
>Move to America after learning the language shoddily
>Grab a white girl and marry her
>Pump her full of babies
>Somehow this is acceptable to weebs

>With a bachelor's degree

13 years working experience but no completed degrees.

At 32 I'd have to go back to university and finish one of my meme degrees to stand a chance. Getting in tons of debt just to move to another country sounds awful.

I have exceptional English language verbal and writing skills. Isn't there some manner in which they gauge and value this skills for ELTs over a piece of paper?

I want to chill out in Japan/Tokyo for 3-6 months. What would believe my best housing options?

Yep that's Japan man. When you are working in a position of manager or abive, expect a lot of overtime

You guessed the scholarship. I wouldn't call it "luck" I worked my ass off to get it.

Shiruka

*these skills

And yes I realise how much this diminishes my original argument

That's because most faggots aren't prepared for how japanese people perceieve things, especially girls.

I won't have a problem with it myself, but trying to explain to new people how the japanese perceieve relationships sounds so autistic nobody ever believes me.

You know exactly what I mean.

Not to your face. I've made it clear before that "look I'm not Japanese I'm not going to work Japanese hours" we got along fine professionally and I had some friends too. If anything they were jealous. If there's one thing I'd like to help change when/if I get higher up it'd be pushing Japan away from their ridiculously inefficient business practices.

japanese girls are either sluts (10%) or very conservative (90%). The former is the target for americans so I dont know what you expected.
t. user who knows happy pol-jap couples

Waps are the jelly-Mexicans at the homeland in your case

Lol the ELT industry here is so overcrowded with literal retards that the salary dropped down to like 1600 $/month.

This.

Get a living visa and stay employed there.

I hope to got computer science degrees are capable for the Monbukagakusho or i'm assfucked to the 10th degree

Lol you must talk about girls in the countryside maybe.

Many girls in Japan hide their true nature so well. They look pure but they are giga sluts when they feel like it.

T.a guy who fucked over 100Japanese girls.

HOW TO SPEND A YEAR BUMMING AROUND JAPAN:

>1. Save some cash. $10k should be enough.
>2. Apply for a Working Holiday Visa.
>3. Pack your shit for living on the road.
>4. Leave.

Who the fuck would actually want to LIVE in Japan?

Pass. Although part of me wonder if someone like me that is actually competent could excel considering the weak competition.

Regardless, I'll be content to just traveling to Japan every now and again. If I was to move it would be to a white country.

Japan is a great country with lovely people, great lifestyle and awesome food and I could easily live in Tokyo, so comfy in the winter, but it would probably never feel like home. Just a place I like being.

r8 my future father-in-law's house
this is real japan, not that tokyo bullshit

Here's a tip for the MEXT they don't tell you. It's not about how good your research plan is, your research plan gets tossed out the second you get your money (unless you're not going for a degree but then what the hell are you doing) it's about how well you can DEFEND your research plan. You have to prove that you can cut it in Japan on your own, that you won't give up. It's cliche as fuck but the interview is so much more important than the research. I showed up with about 4 pages for my plan. Some people had folders. The difference was I defended my plan and explained why I wouldn't make the consulate look bad in Japan.
Show up in a suit.
Use polite Japanese.
Make sure your accent is good (or not dogshit atleast)
Be cordial and relaxed but when they grill you, stand your ground.

It's easy to get a japanese girl to fuck you just because she wants that outsider experience

It's a whole other ballgame to get a japanese girl to fall in true, romantic love with you. Good fucking luck with the later. This is the part where people get divorced.

I have read some blogs saying how basically whites are just treated differently and are exempt from many social expectations that Japs and people who look more like Japs (chinks, koreans etc) have.

So basically as a white you are free from many of their stupid social rules but the tradeoff is that you're always seen as a foreigner.

Also is it true that many white men act outright bizarre because they are exempt from many social rules and Japs never call you out for it because of their non confrontational culture?

I havent been in relationship with a japanese girls, so its hard for me to say, but each of my polish friends who live in Japan found very conservative wife from Tokyo.

There is a point system now apparently, for people with good skills.
University degrees are actually not worth that many points, compared to the work experience or salary you currently have.

>tfw i have to remember your advice 3 years from now

i should probably copy and paste this post and save it to my desktop

I'm not even sure a master's degree in computer science is a thing that exists. My plan was only to use post graduate study for a bit until I find a job then switch over to a work visa.

the local train station
田舎でも自販機がある

It's true you're "exempt" but if you flaunt that fact you wont get along with anyone. I've found it's better to be the guy that they can speak frankly too like "Hey man this fucking overtime SUCKS ya know?" the Japanese culture of "saving face" is 20% meme 80% legit. If you can be the guy that people don't have to feel awkward talking to you're golden. This again requires CONVERSATIONAL Japanese which is far more useful than the shit they teach in most college classes. Also practice your accent. Then practice some more, then record yourself speaking then listen to how bad you sound and practice some more. When people don't switch to their simple "Gaijin japanese" on the phone with you, your accent is passable.

Also don't marry a Japanese girl. They turn into baby hungry psychopaths and become full time "moms" and basically lose their entire personality. I've lost friends this way.

oops forgot pic

If all else fails go for a generic MBA. It's easy enough, fuck the GMAT though.

Stop doxing yourself user.

That's why you get married at the age of 30 or higher when it's too late or no one cares about children.

And Japanese language school Japanese is just as good as conversational jap

I'd rather move to South Korea and kust visit Japan every year.

>Doing so is not actually hard
heh

>trying to make Korea AND Japan work

what the fuck are you doing

youtube.com/watch?v=2pE2ms1P56I

>language school japanese

You think that. I swear there are so many fucking white guys over here who speak "good" Japanese when in actuality they repeat the same simple sentence forms over and over without any of the nuance the language provides. I'm not trying to be "that guy" but seriously people really overestimate how fluent they are. I'm nowhere NEAR down learning.

So that's a Japanese train station? Can't say I was expecting it to look good honestly.

>6,000 words by September.

Nips only have 6000 words?

I'm not interested in immigrating to Japan, only visiting if ever.

I do find their culture pretty interesting though it's why I like reading about experiences of foreigners living there.

Most blogs are by english teachers there lol. I've also noticed a slight pattern of "loser in home country moves to japan and feels like the most specialest snowflake so posts all about it in his blog".

>They turn into baby hungry psychopaths and become full time "moms" and basically lose their entire personality. I've lost friends this way.
How are half white half jap kids treated? Also what do you mean by "full time mom", they essentially stop giving a shit about you other than a source of money for the family?

I've read that usually it's the wife who controls the finances in a typical jap family.

I hope all weeabs do this and get the fuck out.

Am I suppose to care what Japanese people think of Koreans when I would still be an american citizen?

Tae kim is very very basic shit, don't rely on it completely, and if you think you're gonna be able to cram 6000 words and retain it in a year you crazy, give it 3 years at least unless you plan on total immersion
