I'm 18 years old and almost done with high school. So i want to ask is there a way to study at a Culinary school in japan and get a job because i really want to live in Japan. I know there's another way but it will take a long time because i need to have 10 years of experience to get a visa. Or are there other ways to get a chance to learn and get a job in Japan

 

Do you speak and read Japanese? Any tuition will be in Japanese and you will need to be proficient to follow a course of professional education.

 

Do you have the funding? Japan ain't cheap.

 

Have you been to Japan? Any connection to Japan other than "i really want to live there'? That prompts the question, "Why?".

The difference between reality and fantasy is often huge. Even a vacation in the country doesn't prepare you for the reality of living there.

 

I'm not saying it's impossible and don't wish to seem negative. I've been there and done it, but it is crucially important to be realistic. I've seen so many people turn up here in China full of dreams and leave after a few months hating the place and the people - not that it's their fault in any way.

 

Of course, for all I know you are fluent in Japanese and a regular visitor, in which case ignore me.
