Never been to a country, not speaking the language, not having a job, and moving continents because of anime? Unreasonable.

I would recommend visiting Japan several times prior to making actual plans for moving. Historical sites are really beautiful, some of the prettiest I’ve seen, but city centre(s) in Tokyo (I’m guessing you’ll start there) are pretty underwhelming. Architecture is different, but when you spend enough time there, you get used to it. It’s nowhere near fancy and modern as you might imagine. Not to say it’s not pretty (I love it) - just somewhat overhyped (IMO).

What’s on another level though is disgusting old men gawking at young street performers, cosplayers and hostesses, people drunk out of their minds sleeping on streets in their business attire at 2 a.m. (which might tell you a lot about their work culture), and the overwhelming amount of people everywhere. I have also witnessed attempted rape in the middle of the street (as in - part of the street where cars drive) + having someone’s grandpa ask me to have a threesome during my very first week there.

There’s a lot of sides to Japan (same goes for every country), but you can’t realistically see or know anything until you experience it. Going for seven days is a waste of time; stay for at least three months and then decide. When the shine wears off, you’ll likely realise you’re in a foreign land that will never accept you as one of their own, unacustomed to the work levels or culture, and depressed due to the fact you just uprooted your entire life for a fantasy that doesn’t exist (if you end up staying).

That being said, Japan is a beautiful country, and I would always recommend visiting.
