How to move to japan?

Question:

i am aspiring to be a mangaka and i would have to move to japan. im only 15, so i wanted to think ahead and learn how to rent a place in japan while im in usa, and how to get a passport and stuff.

Answer:

First, there are plenty of places you could go that are not damaged from the tsunami, so that doesn't seem pertinent.

Second, to get a job in Japan, you need a work visa. To get a work visa, you need a 4 year college degree. There are very very few ways around that fact. It is not "the land of opportunity" it is the land of following the rules. The rules say you need a college education.

Therefore, START LEARNING JAPANESE NOW from a real native speaker who knows how to teach (I advise www.japonin.com) I started studying Japanese when I was 16. Ten years later, I have a master's degree, have been back and forth to Japan many times, and work as a translator. If you are serious, put all your effort into studying Japanese. No one will hire you if you can't speak exceptionally well.
