Working in Japan under the constraints of a work visa means there’s really not much you can do besides your day job. About the only other option is saving money and investing through NISA...
Even if your company allows side jobs, you still need to apply for “Permission to Engage in Activity Other Than That Permitted Under the Status of Residence,” and possibly register and communicate with the authorities. Just thinking about all that paperwork makes me not want to bother. After all, the main goal is to build a life where I can live long-term in a place I truly want to be — for me, that’s Japan.
So in reality, my daily life basically revolves around working and studying to prepare for a career move. I won’t deny that this kind of routine gets a bit dull over time. I just want a little more freedom, especially since both language learning and job hunting take so much time.
Anyway, I need to hit my goal as soon as possible so I can finally enjoy the freedom I want in Japan!
