  • Answer:

    I wouldn't count on working anywhere near the maximum hours allowed by law for students, at least at the beginning. To keep up your grades you have to put your time in. We are talking about 4 hours a day of class, and four hours homework-no joke. If you don't keep up your attendance/grades, then sooner or later you will lose your student status. The days when you could just hand over your money and then never show for classes are done. If you are outside of the big cities, you will spend less on housing, spend less time commuting, have less competition for arbaito, and get some real immersion. Yes, there are schools that will help you find housing, etc. I went through a million yen in six months of Japanese language school. I know there are some tight-fisted people who can actually live in Japan on 8 man a month or something like that, but I gotta have at least 12 or so. That being said...it is a very good experience if you find the right situation. If you are going to do this, don't limit yourself to Tokyo. There are good schools all over Japan, even in smaller communities.

If your school has a sister-school relationship, you might want to consider putting off your graduation for a few months to a year, and applying for their exchange program. People usually go their junior years, but I went on exchange during my senior year. Advantages of using your school: English language support, you can probably talk to people who have already gone on the program, you will earn college credits (most likely) that may apply to a second degree some day, the school will be used to foreign students from your area. One of the big advantages of my school exchange (which was Nagoya, so no help for you) was that they found me a homestay, and they also helped me find part-time work to help pay for living there. I believe the semester exchanges in Tokyo had similar help in finding a place to live; not sure about the part-time job thing.

You need to have the money up front to cover the course fees, exam fees and living expenses. You will not get a student visa without proof of funds. As a student your limited to the hours you can work and it's isn't enough to cover even your basic living expenses.

You need a visa. Apply to a language school and as soon as you have a place and the money to pay for it apply for a visa. No scholarships and you can only work limited hours a week - it won't be enough to live on.
