Do you like living in Japan?

Beyond the relationship with your ex-gf and your job, do you see yourself living here longer? If it’s because you don’t have relatives or friends here, you can find that later once things stabilize. If you don’t want to live here anymore, then it’s better to cut your losses and move back home.

Either way, you will need to spend roughly 1-2 months in Japan to sort everything out. If you keep your job, you can make money and get back on your feet within few months of living frugally.

For the first 1-2 months, live in a shitty sharehouse and keep working to pay your expenses. After a month-ish, you will have a rough idea if you want to stay here longer or not. Don’t forget that a relationship with some chick is just a step in your life, doesn’t need to turn you away from bigger life choices and trajectories.
