I have already made up my mind to move there and I'm not changing it anytime soon. I am learning Japanese and am not going to show up there speaking english. I know all about Japanese culture and I know what to expect. Sorry I had to say that but whenever people ask these questions people attack them with horrible negatives and telling them every reason why they shouldn't go.
I want to go to a Japanese University and stay permanently located in Japan after I graduate. I plan on getting an education degree to teach physical education.
Can anyone help explain all the things I need to do that please? :)
As in what visa I need ect.
Thank you. :)

I don't know how someone can know everything about Japan and Japanese culture but has never lived there.

But hey, whatever floats your boat, thats just a rant of mine.

I will still answer your question(s):

It is two parts, your school then after you finish school:

Part 1.
To go to a Japanese University you need to be able to read, write and speak Japanese fluently .

To get a student visa into a Japanese university first you need to demonstrate that fluency in Japanese, then you need to take Japanese university entrance exams, and sometimes interviews. Of course get accepted into the school.

Then to get a student visa you need to demonstrate to Immigration Authorities you have about $20,000 USD in your or your parent's bank account for just 1 year student visa. So you need something like $80,000 USD for 4 years, (this is before you even step foot into Japan) Now, actually if you include tuition prices and rent cost of living it might be higher for a full four years. Better get working on those loans, which is hard for study abroads. Under a student visa you cannot work full time, so you'll need to take out a lot of private loans. Unless you're already rich.


On a side note:
I hope you're not a citizen from China (PRC China) (not sure about your user name) but the restrictions are much higher for people from the People's Republic of China, 72.9% of student visa applications from PRC China are rejected by Japanese Immigration.

Part 2:

After you graduate with a bachelors degree, you then need a job offer in Japan, with that you can get a Work Visa.



Though getting a job in Japan even if you speak Japanese, especially in the field you want to do. Jobs in Japan for foreigners are jobs that Japanese cannot otherwise do. So lets say it was you and a Japanese person applying for the same job, you better have some skills above and beyond that of the Japanese person that can enhance the job, otherwise the job goes to the Japanese person, its easier for them to hire the Japanese person then a foreigner.

This is why language teaching is the number 1 profession of foreigners in Japan, followed by IT work.

I hope that answers your question(s).

Maybe you confuse being negative with not accepting the truth...As Japan does not have an open immigration policy you just can't move there. Period.
You're going to need a student visa and a great deal of money. You're also going to need to learn how to speak, read and write Japanese at a college level. This will take years to do. You need to remember over 3,000 characters just to be able to read a news paper. Not an easy task.
Some people on this page are not giving negative answers. They are telling you the facts. Japan is not a easy country to move to. Unless you have a skill a native Japanese does'nt have,the chances of finding work are slim to none. And you're not going to find many, if any, gaijin gym teachers there.
I suggest you learn more.

Yes, you need passport.
Maybe also you have to visit Japan Embassy.
Also for moving Nippon Express Moving takes care of moving from USA to Japan.

You could buy "How to learn Japanese" book, Audio Cassette, etc.

??????????????????????????

It's unheard of to have a foreign teacher in a Japanese government school teaching anything other than English.

The only place you'll find P.E. teaching is at an international school in Japan. So you should study education at home and aim for international school work in Japan after you graduate.

a passport?

Well, have a good flight. and "oyasuminasai." <}:-})

If you are a gold medalist or a famous coach, some universities will employ you. If not, no universities, as far as I know, have employed any foreign teachers of physical education. I won't say it is impossible, but I can't answer its possibility because I don't know your skill exactly. If you have a highest skill, I think you can get a chance. The key is your skill.
