Part-time jobs

Working Part-Time and Building Your Career in Japan

As a foreign student with a student visa, you can work part-time in Japan.

Working part-time offers several benefits:

  • Financial support for your studies
  • Valuable work experience
  • Opportunities to practice and improve your Japanese language skills

Before starting a part-time job, you will need to apply for a work permit. With a work permit, you can work up to 28 hours per week while attending school. However, remember that your primary focus should be your studies, as you are in Japan on a student visa.

It is crucial to comply with visa regulations, such as adhering to the permitted work hours. By diligently following the rules, you can safeguard your stay in Japan and ensure a smooth and successful study abroad experience.

Watch: Learn from a student's firsthand experience of working and studying in Japan.

Can you launch your career in Japan after graduation?

Yes, pursuing a fulfilling full-time career in Japan after graduation is possible with the right qualifications. With careful planning, you can successfully transition from a student visa to a work visa after graduation, opening doors to a rewarding career in Japan.

Career options include various industries, such as IT, teaching, business, and marketing, with specific work visas for each field.

Cost of living

What are the Costs Associated with Studying Abroad in Japan?

Let us explore the essential costs to consider when planning your study abroad adventure in Japan.

A clear understanding of the financial aspects is crucial for a smooth and successful study abroad experience in Japan.

1. Financial requirements

To secure your student visa, Japanese immigration requires proof of sufficient funds. Aim for at least 1.2 million yen for every six months of study.

However, it is ideal to budget more to ensure comfort and cover unexpected expenses. Demonstrating financial preparedness is crucial for a successful visa application.

2. Location matters

Your choice of location significantly influences your expenses. Big cities like Tokyo and Osaka generally have a higher cost of living compared to smaller cities and towns. Therefore, carefully consider your location preferences and how they align with your budget.

We published an article that features various study abroad destinations in Japan and gives reasons why each place might be a good fit for you.

3. Tuition costs

The cost of tuition varies depending on the program and institution. For six months of Japanese language school studies, expect to pay approximately 450,000 yen.

4. Accommodation expenses

Accommodation costs can vary significantly depending on your chosen housing option. Research different options, such as apartments, sharehouses, and school dormitories, and compare their costs early in the planning process.

Accommodation is a significant component of your overall budget, so thorough research and planning are essential.

5. Long-term planning

To ensure financial stability throughout your study abroad journey, consider your total study duration and overall goals. This approach will enable you to accurately estimate your total financial needs.

6. Don't rely on part-time work

Although you can work part-time with a student visa in Japan, it is essential to demonstrate sufficient savings for your initial financial planning and visa application. This showcases your financial responsibility and commitment to your studies.

Determining a definitive figure for the total cost of studying in Japan can be challenging. This is because your lifestyle choices, location, and study abroad program length significantly influence your overall expenses.

However, a reasonable starting point for your financial planning is an annual budget of at least 2 million yen or US$13,000.

Keep in mind that this is a minimum estimate for basic living expenses and tuition. Aiming for a higher budget provides a financial buffer for unexpected costs and allows you to fully enjoy your experience in Japan without financial worries.

Health insurance and pension

Japan National Health Insurance and National Pension Scheme for Foreign Students

Understanding the Japanese National Health Insurance and the National Pension Scheme is important for your well-being and financial planning during your stay.

Important things to know about the National Health Insurance (NHI) for your financial planning in Japan

  1. The National Health Insurance (NHI), or Kokumin Kenkou Hoken, is the most common option for international students.
  2. Resident card holders in Japan, including students and working holiday visa holders, must enroll in the Japanese National Health Insurance (NHI), or Kokumin Kenkou Hoken, which provides access to affordable healthcare. NHI covers 70% of medical costs for illness, injury, or dental issues.
  3. Enrollment in NHI is required for studies longer than three months, providing access to affordable healthcare. Enrollment occurs at the local city/ward/village office, preferably during Residence Card registration, requiring Japanese Identification.
  4. Monthly NHI payment costs are based on the previous year’s income, with lower premiums for students with little to no income, calculated based on resident’s tax determined in June.
  5. An insurance card will be mailed after registration, which must be presented for insurance benefits.
  6. Some schools offer add-on insurance to cover the remaining 30% of medical expenses not covered by NHI for accidents in Japan.
  7. For studies less than three months, NHI is not available; private travel insurance is recommended, such as through WorldTrips via Go! Go! Nihon.
  8. Long-term students are required to enroll in NHI within 2 weeks of arrival in Japan.

DID YOU KNOW?

Having health insurance during your stay in Japan is important to protect yourself from potential high medical costs and ensure you have access to medical care.

Important things to know about Japan’s National Pension Scheme for your planning

  1. Resident card holders in Japan, including students and working holiday visa holders, must register for the National Pension (Kokumin Nenkin).
  2. Pension payments may not be required immediately, typically not in the first year as they are based on the previous year’s income.
  3. From the second year, payments are based on income earned in Japan.
  4. Students with little to no income can apply for an exemption (shiharai menjo) from pension payments, often used by Japanese language students for up to two years.
  5. To enroll and apply for exemption, visit the local ward or city office with: My Number Card, Residence Card, Passport, and Student Card. Upon enrollment, a yellow card with the pension number will be received by mail.
  6. Foreign students can apply for exemption annually if income meets eligibility criteria.
  7. Apply for the exemption upon arrival and renew it annually before the end of the pension year.
  8. The pension year for language school students runs from July to June of the following year.
  9. Enrolling in the National Pension as a student, even with an exemption, allows contribution to the system, which can be beneficial for long-term stays.
Using public transportation

Using Public Transportation in Japan as a Foreign Student?

Japan has an impressive public transportation system that spans across all of its major cities and islands. This network includes a nationwide system of rail lines, including the renowned Shinkansen bullet trains.

To navigate your city, you have several convenient options:

  1. Trains: For frequent travel between two stations, consider purchasing a commuter pass (teikiken) for significant savings compared to individual tickets.
  2. Buses: Extensive bus networks connect urban areas with the countryside. While most rural buses may lack English support, do not hesitate to ask the driver directly if the bus goes to your destination. Remember to press the stop button as you approach your stop.
  3. Taxis: When other public transportation options are unavailable, taxis offer convenient door-to-door service, although at a higher cost.
  4. Bicycles: Enjoy the flexibility and convenience of cycling, but be sure to familiarize yourself with Japanese cycling laws, which include:
    • No listening to music while cycling.
    • Using a headlamp on pedestrian sidewalks.
    • Parking only at designated bicycle lots in cities.

DID YOU KNOW?

When using public transportation, be mindful of other passengers and observe proper etiquette.

Bonjour GoGo Nihon,Je souhaitais vous remercier dans un premier temps, tout d'abord pour tout le temps que vous m'avez accordé et les réponses qui m'ont été données à des moments... où j'en avais le plus besoin (moments de doutes et d'anxieté) ces informations et ces réponses ont été très précieuses dans la décision de cette formation que j'attends avec impatience et qui débutera en juillet 2025.Je souhaitais remercier toute l'équipe de GoGo Nihon pour tout ce que vous m'avez apporté, et tout particulièrement Pauline qui a été en charge de mon dossier, qui a su m'aider dans les moments de doutes et d'incertitudes vis-à-vis de la durée que je souhaitais prendre.Aditionally, I wanted of course to thank my supervisor Ayaka from Japan who was in charge of my file and all of my paperworks for the Visa application. I wanted to deeply thank her because she was really kind to me during the interview in Japanese. I was a bit stressed during that moment because it was my real first time talking with a Japanese native. She spoke to me with patience, not too fast as in daily conversation but not too slow, in order to introduce my ears to the upcoming Japanese I will learn.So thanks for everything, thanks a lot everyone.We'll see each other soon while learning some Japanese.Gautier GUSTINread more

My boyfriend and I used GGN to assist with the process of getting to Japan. Through a student visa, we have been able to apply for up to 1 year and 3 months, with potential for 2... years!We went language school route since we both already have higher education degrees and wanted to learn Japanese as part of our eventual move there. The fact that GGN lists all the information about the schools so you can choose is pretty cool. They work as the middleman for you in a process that can probably be very sensitive. School application, visa and Immigration stuff.They have places and businesses that they are partnered with but you don't have to use them and there was no pressure to.Saskia and Layna were super helpful when we had questions.Only issue was (maybe just for the April start term) but we were very stressed towards the end because of the Japanese process of getting the COE and Visa before you can get a place to live made the window really tight for getting a place and we ended up not having a lot of time to find somewhere to live for 2 years - because the COE came a month before school started and you have to make an appt with the Embassy to turn it into a Visa which can take a week or so. And most places require a month before move in (and several places said no because we were foreign students) so that was very stressful - but not GGN's fault!Overall its great that there is a tool to help with the process of moving to Japan and there was really no cost to utilize their services!Its a great took if you don't know where or how to start as they know all the steps and processes and even have a bunch of helpful tips and links and videos.read more

Hello everyone! My name is Francesca and I would like to share my experience with GoGoNihon. I started my journey to Japan exactly one year ago, I started basically from nothing,... I barely known the language or anything about living there but I was motivated. In my past I travelled abroad so I was ready to work with someone who helps you and I was a little worried because I didn’t have good experience before, but GogoNihon was the best experience I could ever ask. They are extremely professional, they support you, answer all the questions in a minimum time, they are sweet and kind and in my case they walk me through all the process helping with my choices based on my necessity. I was very surprised because I never worked with someone so caring.If you are worried of taking this experience please give it a try with GoGoNihon I highly recommend it and I am a picky person.Wish you all the best experience,Francescaread more

I would totally recommend GoGoNihon to anyone who wants to study in Japan. They offer support in multiple languages, which is a huge plus when dealing with paperwork — nothing... better than using a language you fully understand for that kind of stuff.And on a side note, a huge thank you to my coordinators, Nora and Ayumi, who were there every step of the way and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free!read more

Une expérience de dingue ... 6 mois au Japon il y a déjà 2 ans, accompagnée tout du long autant dans l'administratif que dans le quotidien. La meilleure décision que j'ai pu faire... pour mon année de césure. Je prévoie déjà d'y retourner plus longtemps ! Si vous êtes intéressé, n'hésitez pas à les contacter sur leur site. Ils vont d'abord vérifier que votre projet soit viable, n'ayez pas peur d'être balancé à l'aveugle : vous ne le serez pas. Vous serez guidé dans toute vos démarches !Je recommande Osaka si vous aimez rencontrer et pouvoir directement discuter avec les locaux qui sont d'une gentillesse incroyable, et qui n'hésite pas à venir vers vous. Avec ma meilleure amie nous nous sommes fait invité au sentô par une petite grand-mère à une fête de quartier proche. Nous sommes toujours en contact avec cette famille adorable et chaleureuse...Je recommande aussi Osaka si vous voulez voyager pendant vos études, parce que vous êtes au centre du Japon et avez accès à tout par Bateau (Oîta et la région du Kyushu), en bus (Hiroshima, Nagoya, Tottori, ...), en train et en shinkansen (Tôkyô, le mont Fuji, Kyoto, ...) et en avion (Hokkaidō). Et si vous avez le permis depuis plus de 2 ans, vous pouvez vous le faire traduire, louer une voiture à Toyota Rent a Car et décider de vos destinations !Je vous souhaite une belle aventure dans la douceur d'être guider par GoGoNihon et l'école partenaire de votre choix ...A ECC Kokusai College, un grand merci à Harada sensei d'avoir été comme un père pour nous, je reviendrais vous passez un bonjour !原田先生、ありがとうございました!また会いましょう!read more

Si je pouvais mettre 9 ou 10 étoiles, je le ferai les yeux fermés. Je recommande Go! Go! Nihon afin de mener à bien votre projet au Japon !Ayant un profil qui diffère sur... certains points comparé à d'autres futurs étudiants, je m'étais dit que ce serait assez compliqué de pouvoir étudier de nouveau au Japon. Et pourtant, j'ai tout de suite ressenti de la sérénité dans nos interactions avec mes correspondantes (Nora et Pauline) ainsi que Yume, que je remercie toutes les trois pour leur ponctualité et leur efficacité.Tout est fait pour que ce soit clair, net, précis, avec des PDF explicatifs qui suivent une timeline précise, et des réponses claires à nos interrogations dans un délai plus que correct. L'interface du site est très ergonomique et pratique avec des onglets pour chaque étape, on ne s'y perd pas comme pour beaucoup d'autres sites web de cet acabit. La communication entre chaque parti (vous, vos correspondants, et l'école) est vraiment fluide. Quand on sait comment ça fonctionne dans nos administrations en France, ce serait une belle leçon d'humilité pour certains de s'en inspirer !En clair, si vous y mettez du vôtre pour finaliser le dossier en temps et en heure, je ne vois aucune raison d'obtenir un résultat négatif à terme. Tout est fait pour réussir avec l'obtention d'un COE/VISA à la clé, en plus d'être aidé pour le logement (facultatif) ainsi que d'autres aides complémentaires qui aident à une intégration simple et rassurante dès notre arrivée au Japon.Pour celles et ceux qui hésitent encore à se lancer dans l'aventure, essayez et foncez car c'est probablement le meilleur moment pour le faire avec le court du yen favorable et une technologie qui simplifie de plus en plus les démarches.Maintenant, il n'y a plus qu'à taffer les kanji et réussir mon JLPT, au boulot ! 🙂read more

It didn't feel like on a work base but more like a friend helping me achieve my goals, helping me with solutions and assisting me in every possible way. Even after accomplishing my goal he offered help with future problems and I simply appreciate every support i received.

Mi sono affidato a GoGoNihon per trovare la scuola di lingua giapponese più adatta a me ed iscrivermi. Grazie al loro continuo supporto (e ai loro consigli), mettermi in contatto... con la scuola e sbrigare tutte le pratiche è stato semplicissimo. Sono molto attenti a tutti gli aspetti, anche a quelli personali. Per questo motivo, affidandosi a loro è tutto molto più facile, anche quando all'inizio, spaesato, non sai su cosa concentrarti prima e verso dove muovere i primi passi. Se avete intenzione di studiare in Giappone, potete affidarvi senza alcun dubbio a loro (anche perché è tutto gratuito). Non ve ne pentirete!read more
