This thread is get advise on what to do to live on your own here in Japan.
A little background here first. I have a resident card that basically says I can live and work in Japan forever as long as I obey the laws of the land.
Fast forward now.
I'm soon to be starting from scratch on living on my own. My Japanese language skill is really that of a beginner with about 30 days of down to hard studying.
I'm interested in govt. housing.
I have no idea what to do, but...
This is what I've done so far. 9-1-16
I visited the housing authority at the shiyakushou.
They found me an apartment way out in the boonies that no one wanted for the August lottery.
I filled out the necessary paper work and they will call me in 2 weeks for another interview or whatever.
So, even if this pans out, I still need to know how and what to do to move in.
The only thing that I have right now is one of them flip-flop telephones which the telephone number can be disconnected at anytime. I don't own the number.
OK, guys and gals, put yourself in my shoes and share your knowledge please.
By the way I was told I need 3 months deposit. Also they said I don't need 3 refferals, maybe because I'm a foreigner.
Thanks guys.
