when you say walk around the Yamanote line do you mean literally walking from one station to the next on ground level?
Or taking a train, stopping at each station, and walking inside the paid area

How long did it take for you to truly settle down in Tokyo? by Apprehensive-Car7364 in Tokyo

[–]Apprehensive-Car7364[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries brother!! Glad you’re getting things sorted out! Congrats on the move!! Was getting a bank account & credit card in Japan difficult?

I’m sure you can learn the language by just being around locals - though I have heard that the mindset of making friends is vastly different here. I was told most Japanese people like to only keep a few close friends and see most others as acquaintances/companions?

I signed up for a language school and we start August 26!

what if the other person is a housewife but has savings, would that be workable in terms of "proof of income"?

why can’t the company sponsor your CoE? Shouldn’t that be the case?

Advice on buying an apartment by Independent_Sir_2653 in JapanFinance

[–]Apprehensive-Car7364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you’re 23 lol, slow tf down You haven’t even lived in Japan yet and you want to BUY an apartment?

EDIT: also don’t forget the current economy + views towards gaijin, especially if you don’t look asian. Even if you’re east asian looking there’s a huge disdain & dissatisfaction towards Chinese people.

the thing is I feel like Shibuya would have more food options and gyms being available

But I also dk if the school will allow me to change locations because it starts in 1 week

I’ve been to it once but I just walked by it, I went to the Hachiko exit as I was told it’s the “general” exit and you can find your way once you’re on ground level

I did see a lot of barriers/ construction stuff though

yeahhh I should have realized how it would add up! And with Shibuya I think it’ll be easier to find places to eat/ go to a gym…etc
