I want to live in Japan?
Conisdering from what I've already read on other questions here on Yahoo Answers, it doesn't seem as difficult as they say. Basically what I've learned is that you need a Bachelors Degree in no specific subject, Japanese Speaking/Writing skills and a Visa or just make things even more simpler and marry a Japanese Spouse that already resides there. But is there anything else required? I also read that you have to live there for 5 years to officially apply for citizenship. It has been a dream of mine for over a decade that I live in Japan, one of childhood influences ever since I watched an episode of one of the orginal Pokémon as a toddler c'x from then on I became very interested in the culture and interests of the Japanese. If it really is as hard as people say…what would be the easiest job to apply for there? Easiest Route? If you can list others than English Teaching that'd be great. I'm hoping either Modeling, Art, Writing/Journelism, or basically any Designing of some sort ._. What are the few jobs that foreigners usually don't apply for in Japan, besides the obvious cleaning, ETC. Any other advice or statements as long as its not anything rude would be highly appreciated(:
How do live in Japan for 6 months ?
I lived there for just 5 weeks (loved it) but l learned a lot! First off, don't stay in American style, westernized hotels. Stay in "business hotels" (that the traveling business people use) or "ryokens" (traditional Japanese style hotels, bed is a futon on floor, toilet is a hole in the floor, traditional deep Japanese bathtub which will be drawn for you unless you decline). These will cost you only about 1/3 of what the familiar western hotels charge. Second, don't eat at the restaurants in those westernized hotels! A ham sandwich will cost you $10 or $15! Instead, opt for bento box lunches at stands that sell Japanese meals, or some of the wonderful noodles that you can get at almost any station that the fast trains stop. These delicious meals will cost you only $2 or $3 or so--again, less than a third what a meal would cost you in a hotel. If you can figure out the trains, they are a very inexpensive way to travel. Whatever you do, don't take taxis! There are city buses as well. Again, a bit difficult to figure out without help of a Japanese native, but maybe you know one? Just temember: think Japanese, not American or European! Otherwise your trip will be very costly. If you can find a short term rental (some Japanese will rent to westerners, others will not because the westerners have a tendency to not take care of their places as well as other Japanese do), you will likely save a lot of money over even the cheap hotel rate. I could easily stay in business hotels, eat Japanese food, and travel by buses and trains, for $100 per day. Renting a place for 6 months might save me about half of that.

How do I get a job, live, and settle in Japan?
Check out GaijinPot Jobs. It's a website for searching for work in Japan. When you search, click advanced search and check the "Overseas Application OK" box. This will limit your search to employers who will accept applicants from abroad.Unless you're going to Japan on a visa that gives you permission to work (such as a spouse visa), it's highly recommended that you find a job before going. Most employers will only hire foreigners who are already authorized to work in Japan and if you're there on a tourist visa, you aren't authorized. Here are the most common positions that people apply for to get to Japan:The JET Program - This is an international exchange program run by the Japanese government. They hire foreigners to come to Japan and work for local governments, such as working as ALTs (assistant language teachers of English in public schools) or CIRs (coordinators for international relations, people who have a high degree of Japanese ability and help local governments with things like translation and internationalization efforts). This is the best bet as the salary is good and they provide a lot of support. The downside is you're far more likely to get placed in a rural area as opposed to Tokyo.ALT Dispatch Companies - These are companies that provide ALTs to school districts, but they're able to do it for a lower price than the JET Program, so some schools (especially in larger cities) have opted to use them. It's similar to the JET Program, but generally means a lower salary and not as much support. Interac is one of these companies.Eikaiwa (English conversation schools) - These are private schools where they bring in foreign teachers to teach English conversation to classes—as small as one student, as large as five or six (might be some larger ones). These are all over Japan so you can easily find one in a big city. The downside is that the hours are all over the place, the pay's not that great, and they'll provide you with very little support.Getting a job before you come to Japan is pretty much necessary, because you need an employer to sponsor your work visa. Once you come over to Japan though, you can begin looking for another position. There are far more job opportunities available to people already living in Japan with a valid work visa. You'll also need an employer to help you out with things like getting an apartment, because Japanese landlords require renters to have a guarantor who will vouch for them.
What do you call people who live in Japan?
What do you call people who just live in USA? Americans? NO! There is no one word to describe it correctly. It is kind of commonsense.
Where is the safest place to live in japan?
As far as natural disasters are concerned, no place is safe. A typhoon can hit Okinawa and all four main islands. An earthquake can also hit anywhere in Japan. Major snowstorms can also hit the Tohoku region of Honshu island and Hokkaido (the northern most island). Japan is prepared for natural disasters and make buildings as safe as possible. Weather forcasters also give weather updates frequently so just watch NHK when expecting a typhoon so you know how and when to plan.
Do alligators live in Japan?
Not natives, maybe some imports in zoos. There is a species of mini-gator that lives in the Yang Ze river of China. The only places that true Alligators live is in the Americas and China. The rest of those type animals are crocodiles, garials, and camens.
