I want to go to japan but i have no money...i feel like crying?
I feel bad for you but I don't know why you're posting this question again. There is no magical way to suddenly have money other than getting a loan which you will eventually have to pay off or applying for an exchange program and winning a full scholarship. If you're not willing to put in the effort to either earn the money or apply for scholarships to go there during high school then you really don't deserve to go at all. You can find a list of some exchange programs here: http://www.studyabroad.com/programs/east... It's probably your best bet because they will give you a place to stay and you will actually get to experience what it's really like to be a teenager there and you could possibly get a full scholarship and not have to pay (if you are willing to put in the effort.) Either take the initiative to apply for scholarships or get a job now or don't go, it's entirely up to you.
I am going to visit Okinawa, Japan for two weeks. What are some places which I should visit?
You didn’t say if you’re coming alone, with a partner, family, or SO which would change the answer. It really depends on what you like to do.If you like water sports:I highly suggest some off island SCUBA or snorkeling. On the main Island is good too, but due to the ease of beach entry, popular dive site are crowded and not in pristine condition. If you go out on a boat dive or to one of the off lying islands like the Senkakus the dive is spectacular. The snorkeling is better off the main Island too.If you’re into WWII history:There’s plenty of battle site tours available. Many of the places are free or have a minimal charge. There’s the Mabuni Peace Park, Himeyuri Park, Naval Underground HQ. There’s Kakazu Ridge and many other.Okinawa History:Gyokusendo Cave and Park, has a small “village” and shows about Okinawan culture and dancing. Nakamura House and old farmer’s house. The Park attached to the aquarium has another old village. Shuri Castle is also a good place for Okinawa history. There’s also a number of temples around the island that are worth a look, Futenma jingu, Naminoue etc.Modern Okinawa:The American Village in Chatan is a lively spot. and Kokusai Dori in downtown Naha are pretty nice.There’s also seasonal considerations.They have tug of wars around the island the most famous is down in Naha although there are others such as the one in Koza. Usually happens in October.There’s Cherry Blossom Viewing in February.Koi noburi festivals in MayNew Years is a big day.Obon is also a interesting cultural time.And a samba festival in, I believe February.Adventuring:There’s bouldering tours, hiking, kayaking, camping, para sailing, hang gliding and other adventures waiting you.Chris answer had some good spots too. You can always google “things to do in Okinawa”Here’s a few to get you started:The 10 Best Things to Do in Okinawa Prefecture - 2018 (with Photos) - TripAdvisor50 Things to Do in Okinawa25 Things to Do in Okinawa When Visiting for the First TimeSo there’s a lot to see and do on the Island even though it’s small.
American going to College in Japan?
Hello everyone, I am an American who will be a Junior (Grade 11) in High School this year, but I want to attend College in Japan. For about a year it's been my dream to live in Japan, but until recently I had not decided what I wanted to do with my life; over my Summer Vacation, however, I've decided that I would like to work as a Game Designer for Nintendo Co. Ltd., and that I would like to attend the HAL College of Technology and Design (which has close ties to Nintendo, Microsoft, etc.) in the Shinjuku Ward of Tokyo, Japan. I'm very serious about doing this and I plan on moving there immediately after I graduate High School and applying for a Student Travel Visa, so that by the time I've completed my 4-Year Program I will have lived in the nation long enough to apply for citizenship. I've recently started studying the Japanese language, and have memorized most of the Hiragana Syllabary, and have a solid understanding of Japanese grammar, sentence structure, etc. I don't have to worry about paying my College Tuition, but I will need a way to make money for rent, food, and recreation, which, from what I understand, can be very expensive in a large city like Tokyo; So here's my questions: What kind of job(s) could an American College Student in Tokyo have to support himself? How much would it be realistic for me to expect to make on a weekly basis? If you have any other useful information, please let me know, and thank you very much in advance!
How long will it take to get to japan by boat?
i have no idea how long it would take to get from jersey to tokyo by ship and i'm not even sure if you can get a cruise that accomplishes that mission. however, why would you want to waste so much time on a boat if you are "obsessed" with japan and wish to get there quickly? fly from JFK to seattle...about 4 and 1/2 hours. then fly from seatac to narita...about 10-11 hours. i understand people have a fear of flying but it's much safer than driving a vehicle. i also understand some people become obsessed or have a fetish about japan but we are pretty much like anyone else as far as people goes. sure there are beautiful sights and the people are the most polite and accomodating on the planet but japan (especially tokyo) is quite an expensive place to hang out for the sake of hanging out. spend a week...go to tokyo disney, go to the snow festival in sapporo, visit mount fuji, party hard in shinjuku...just bring lots of yen and come with a plan.
