I talk about start-up costs you should be prepared for when moving to Japan, they can be more than you think.

Also, please enjoy the fresh approach to this video showing the area where I live.

Do you have a small digital camera of some sort? I liked the photography at the end. You could make a montage video of your experiences when you had enough shots. Definitely a "cool spot" to make a video :) Nice seeing the outside.

Thanks! I use a Canon PS 800IS to shoot stills and video. I am going to buy a proper DSLR very soon! I love photography and have, literally, thousands of photos of Japan. I guess I need to take some time and make a montage. Good suggestion!

i was told that about ¥500,000 is roughly what you should bring if you are being a teacher. Most accomodation is ¥80,000 (depending on style and location) and can be 2months rent up front plus deposit and key money...also most jobs you dont get paid towards the end of the 2nd month. things like health insurance comes out of your pay check...lots to consider

Yes sir, you are exactly right! Thanks for the comment!

I really like japanese. I'm greek but I don't know the reason why, but I mostly like the sound of it. Thank you about these videos.

@SunBreaker6

yea , i think 500000 yen is 3500euro so u would have like , a couple of millions

[matbiondi]

japanese society is so effed up beyond belief. japanese people love making money so much that they go about doing it in a sick manor by over charging for things, tacking on endless aray of stupid useless fees which they just pocket. japan is a great country, but it's fucked up

[SunBreaker6]

What if I have 20,000 Euro starting money when I move to Japan?

Is that enough? What do you think?

Ill be going over to live with my uncle and my aunty, until we find an apartment for me to live in... ill be going over with about $3000 - 3500 (aus). im 18 at the moment, studying at university. my family lives in tokyo... will i be able to survive on that much when i initially get there?

@bluebearbank247 its this Anime that used to come on all the time a few years ago. If you like anime from japan whatsoever, I suggest it you, seeing as how you can watch the whole series in three hours
