Summer job/internship in japan? roomate? (cars/drifting) help?

Question:


This coming summer in 2012 i would like to try to find a job/internship in japan. I am very interested in the car scene and while im over there would like to get parts and such to bring/send back home. I guess im wondering how an American can find a simple job in japan and if anyone would be willing to be a roommate, or someone who could help me along?

Answer:


Chefao gave you a good answer. Your chances are zero. First off, you need a BA / BS degree minimum to get a work visa in Japan. Or ten years experience in a needed job field. You need to have a job offer before you get there as the employer has to sponsor the employees work visa.
Such internships would only go to a Japanese. Why would they offer it to an American when there's
people already there who can do it ?
Can you speak, read and write Japanese at a native level ? All written matter will be in Japanese. The teachers will only speak Japanese. Do you know metrics ? Most Americans don't.
Sorry, there's nothing positive that can be said about your idea. Like Chefao said, it's not going to happen.
EDIT : Re: drifting. It's illegal, and a very closed group of people. Don't believe what you see in movies. It's been moved to the hills at night. Away from people and the police. They won't talk to anyone they can't trust.
