Moving to Tokyo. How hard would it be if I have Dual Citizenship (UK + Japan)?

• I am a 19 year old half Japanese, half English male currently attending University. After much deliberation over where my life was heading, the option of moving to Tokyo became more appealing. I accept that Tokyo is a very expensive place to live and work but with my situation, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how realistic this is. My situation is as follows: Monetarily, I will probably have enough money for a plane ticket to Tokyo plus roughly £1000 - £1500 to take to live on whilst I look for potential work (perhaps more if people here deem it not to be sufficient?). I am a Japanese citizen as well as UK so visas won't be an issue. Language barrier - Unfortunately my Japanese isnt terribly strong (although I will be learning avidly in the next few weeks and months). I can read and write basic hiragana, katakana etc but kanji is a problem. Speech and pronunciation is more or less perfect, however I suffer from a poor range of vocabulary. My plan is to purchase a return ticket (it ill be a 2 month duration, so if things havent worked out in 2 months, I can hop on a plane back to the UK) to Tokyo for a date at some point later this year. My Uncle lives in Yokohama, very close to Tokyo, and I will be able to stay at his place, thus saving me tons of money, pretty much indefinitely, but I don't want to rude and a mooch, so whilst living at my uncles place I will be searching for jobs and a place to live pretty much all day everyday. I have visited gaijinpot.com which has given me some useful information for doing this. My main question is, how realistic is the idea that I could expatriate from the UK, set up sticks in Tokyo after a 2 month job and house hunt? What important things might I be forgetting to take into consideration? And what is the likelihood for me finding work in Tokyo at all? About me - Half Japanese, 19 years old, male, 6"0 and have been told am quite attractive, well learned, polite, intellectual as well as very sociable and friendly. If its of any value in Japan, I hold 3 A levels and 12 GCSEs. Thank you for any responses!

• Answer:

  You will be Japanese until, what, 20? Then if you are in Japan there is a chance you will have to make a choice on citizenship. Japan doesn't recognize dual citizenship. Ready to give up your U.K. citizenship? As for work, well, you'll be competing against high school graduates for jobs. Minimum wage is around 700 yen/hr. Any reason a place should hire you rather than a high school graduate who has much stronger skills in speaking, reading and writing Japanese? Of course there is nothing stopping you from giving it a try and seeing how you like it. Don't like it, nothing but minimum wage jobs, whatever, you return and go back to college. That sounds like a much better plan than many spouted off on here.
