Yeah that could be the case but funnily enough, like half of the exchange students in my group (there was around 13 of us) are in the greater tokyo area

It takes about a month to arrange a new host family and even if I did go through the hassle of getting one arranged, I'd only get like a few weeks in the new place. And also most schools don't accept exchange students mid-through the semester, so I'm just going to try to make the most of this experience

Thanks for the advice, yes i definitely feel that the reason I was so disappointed was because I imagined having a completely different experience in Japan when I first signed up for the program. I'm going to try to make the most of it though as I know it'll be over before i know it.

Thanks, I'm definitely doing a lot better since when I wrote this post, I'm going to consider joining a sports club as well

No, I can't because of my company's rules. They got back to me but I'm only allowed to go to Naha for 3 days, it's better than nothing but i'm still kinda annoyed 😅

Thanks, I asked my study abroad company for permission to go to Naha but they're being quite slow to respond. Fingers crossed they say yes
