I decided to move on with my life and start a anew in Japan, I have done a lot of research about the subjects of the legality, language and culture which I will study for the next months until I move out. One quick information is that I DON'T have japanese heritage and I know that will make things a bit harder than usual despite the new law of last year.
I want to know if there is some great material for me to check out (Articles, videos etc) which can hep me even more to settle in there, I was looking for online material out of what I have and it's very hard cause most stuff is vlogging, memes or bad information.
I like Japan and the lifestyle I will enjoy there.
Great technology, food, interesting culture and a great quality of life in general, of course there are some common and well-know problems like sometimes the loneliness of the japanese lifestyle or never ever (or would be very hard) to become fully fluent in the language.
I will work as factory worker for some time then move on to less demanding jobs like convenience store then finally moving to something I really enjoy like teaching English or cooking.

Prepare to be a perpetual foreigner in a country that will never really love you and one of the most toxic work cultures in the world

I often find these extreme opinions online about people that love or hate the country to death but there is one truth in what I said, I don't want to become japanese nor I want them to see me as japanese person, I want them to see me as who I'am.
Liam Mitchell
They won’t though they will see you as a foreigner and that’s all
The most depressing thing about going to Japan for the two months I went traveling was meeting all the people that lived there like 10 years that still didn’t feel welcome and many were getting ready to leave
Wyatt Brown
You had a bad experience, that's all.

Tu é um otário e vai estar de volta em 6 meses.

Primeiro sinal que a pessoa nunca nem visitou o Japão como turista sequer e pensa que sabe tudo sobre Japão. Começa postando animu ainda. hahaha

>I want them to see me as who I'am. Ding ding ding retard. Don't bother, Favelados like him usually don't listen to reason.
Austin Roberts
I didn’t though I loved it and would go back in a heartbeat
I’m just not under the illusion that it would be the same to live and visit

> all the people that lived there like 10 years that still didn’t feel welcome and many were getting ready to leave Did they all happen to be English teachers by any chance?
Easton Clark
Ever even been there?
Isaac King
One or two, a ton in Tech and a couple of engineers
Sad part were the ones that even had Japanese wives but felt that way
Cooper Baker
Thanks for the input but I have my mind set on this.
About these bad remaks, as I have written before, this impressions are usually about people who don't want to integrate or to understand the culture so they get this impression that people are cold, that rural cities (amazing, right?) are not like Tokyo etc.
I don't know why Japan subjects here in Yas Forums attract so much shitposting but I guess this is life (︶▽︶)

>Oh nooo I don't feel welcome : ( Firstoid complain, coming from a third shithole you don't care about anything other than living in a good neighbourhood without non-human skin colour people and having a good economy. That's all.
Daniel Lopez
You don't even write in English.

I thought japan was very much against immigration unless you were seeking skilled positions?
Austin Young
do you speak japanese? I'd assume it would make your life 1000x easier
Ryder James
You can work there in manual work like farms or most of time factories until you get better jobs like stores or restaurants.
You can have more skilled jobs if you have enough skills (and those skills must be recognized by the Japan governament) so you have both ways to get work in Japan.
Gavin Taylor
sexpat loser white, cant get laid in your own country? now you have to travel to asia just to get your dick touched??
Joshua Robinson
Japan is not Tokyo.
All these "U WILL NEVER B ACCEPTED BAKA GAIJIN" stories are from frustrated English teachers who go to Tokyo.
Living in semi-rural Hokkaido was a blast and I met a bunch of lovely people.
Nolan Reyes
Cringy post. Please, reconsider your life.

>I will work as factory worker >then move on to convenience store >then teaching English or cooking
I was bullying a Brazilian ELT teacher with my classmates in elementary school I think she was Japanese -Brazilian but never thought she was one of us. Now I regret it
How's life in Hokkaido? I would love to go to a not so fucking crowded place but not 100% rural, something that is near a city.
Colton Edwards
if you dont want cherry picking google it yourself. its not hard since bullying gaijin especially brazilians and sea monkes is common practice in japan.
Robert Roberts
Share your experience there. Most people go to large cities, so your story may be interesting to read.
