To all VGChartzer that live (or want to live) in Japan, let's share our experience!

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm a french engineer and am currently planning a one-year trip to Japan starting nect October to improve my japanese (I already did an internship there a few years ago, but lost my ability to speak japanese pretty quickly...).

I'll take a one-year visa too and would like to do small jobs (like waiter, it's hard to find engineering jobs without a good japanese level) there, obviously to gain some money but also in order to speak as much as I can.

But I've read that the one-year "work holiday" visa can't be renewed there and that I will need to come back to France before going to Japan again... You got a job and a visa extension without that?

And of course, I would love to have some advices about jobs, housing or other potential good/bad deal (we should avoid japanese girls? :( ), but I still have time for that ^^.

Thanks again for the topic and your insight!
