My dream is to move to Japan (specifically Tokyo) someday. This video was both amazingly helpful and simple to follow. Keep up the great work. I enjoy your channel 2 questions: 1) How would someone who is new to Japan even go about producing everything listed? Like, how would someone have their residents' card, japanese residence history, or japanese bank account if they're JUST arriving? 2) When looking at "flex" options, did you notice if any of them accept pets?
@itsjamlife 5 күн бұрын
We're glad this video was useful for you! Thanks for the motivation :) 1) The residence card is issued on arrival at the airport, as you go through immigration. In most cases that we've heard of, people typically stay at some sort of short-term housing for the initial month or so, since those don't require as much paperwork. They first register the address with the local government in order to receive a jūminhyō (residence record). With that official residence record, they can apply for a cellphone number. And finally, they should be able to open a Japanese bank account. 2) It looks like Weave doesn't accept pets. For a pet-friendly alternative, you could check out Hmlet. That's where we stayed when we first arrived. They have furnished rentals and some of their buildings are pet friendly!

Sugoi; neh;)). I especially like how you are eating sandwiches instead of onigiri( typical picnic food in my opinion, lol:), in your picnic in the Sakura laden park on your COKE blanket:))) . Also, v interesting re: washi paper… I recently did a workshop using washi paper at the Nikkei Centre:))

As long as there's no visible damage to the wall or wallpaper! There are some special hooks that can be bought, which leave minimal pinholes- but they can't hold anything too heavy.

@LostTerminalVideos Ай бұрын
As somebody who's planning on moving to Japan for a year on a working holiday visa, this video is actually incredibly helpful, I cannot thank you enough for making this video! It's a shame that Weave's apartments are so much more expensive than similar rentals from different companies, as well as having the predatory practice of offering different monthly prices depending on how long you plan to rent for, while advertising at the cheapest price option they have

I love your scrapbooking to keep your memories. Neat idea and great effort. From what I noticed from Japanese lifestyle, microwave is pretty essential, next would be a rice cooker. something you may want to consider.

One thing I see NO ONE including here talking about is pet friendly apartments. if I cannot bring my chihuahua which is a pretty small dog that is well trained and assists in my diabetes (they can smell and detect blood sugar levels and alert) I cannot feel at peace enough to even try and visit long term. It would be amazing if you could give any information or where to look for such information.

We totally understand how that would be important! The first apartment we stayed at when we moved here was pet-friendly. If you want to see a tour of it, we have a video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r32woHanodh1qs0si=9AM1-bUwDU5zQ-nI

@AP-hn8wd Ай бұрын
Was at Kawaguchiko just last week for Sakura full bloom. Also, an FYI to anyone heading there. FujiQ Highland is free to enter. You can pay for an all day pass like Disney, Universal etc, or do a pay to play style like a carnival and pay for individual rides/attractions. One last note, I would suggest an overnighter here like Jeff and Mel’s video mentions. A day trip is possible, but you can really only cover the Pagoda and one smaller side quest. I did three nights because of Sakura full bloom and hit up all the Sakura places from the Pagoda and a few other spots and included a day at fujiq.
