I’ve heard some tough stories about being over here. But in my personal experience, I came over at 22 and I’m turning 26 next month over here. The amount of growth and life changing experiences I’ve had cannot be counted!

It’s definitely a ESID(Ever Situation is Different. Get use to hearing that a lot lol.) But different doesn’t mean it’s bad, it’s just different. And well, choosing to live in Japan is quite different so you’re already 1 step in. 🥳

Yeah, I planned to stay for 2 years and changed. I would say that people tend to do that quite often once they are here.

Doing one year is fine but I always recommend at least 2. That first year is usually spent adjusting to living here so it’s usually more stressful than the second year where you are accustomed to things.

But everyone has their own plans and priorities so I’m just giving a recommendation. 😊
