I dont plan to travel around japan, I've been there, done that. All I want to do is have enough for my apartment, bills, food and a bit of leisure. Is this realistic?

That's not really true now..... thanks for the info about being required to pay me 250,000 in order to sponsor my visa, i'll look into that.

That 250,000 minimum to sponsor a teacher WAS a guideline 10 years ago. Now, any wage is "ok" that above the minimum wage, which varies from region to region but averages 855 yen/hour throughout Japan. As a practical matter, I have heard of engrish teaching wages as low as 180,000 yen/month for English play-group teacher for little kids and 220,000 yen/month is becoming the new low-but-standard eikaiwa wage.

Now, 6 days a week is not ideal. Working those hours is not ideal. However, I'm not looking for an 'ideal' job. I'm looking for an opportunity to get me to Japan so I can pursue a different career in the midst...
What I want to ask is, can I live in a city in Kobe with 230,000 a month?
FG Lurker wrote:The 6 day week, likely long working hours, and 230000/month pay all suck. However as he is getting an offer while outside Japan it is a reasonable assumption that the company will take care of the paperwork before he comes and that he will have a 1 year working visa upon arrival.
