oohh, sounds really tempting
curious what the climate, rent and cost of living is like over there
Discussion
and how english-speaker friendly it is
Since it's on the western side of Japan, the climate is warm by Japanese standards. Winters are cold, but it hardly ever goes below freezing. I think the rent is about half that of Tokyo. The cost of food is also very low, with daily lunch specials at around $5. Working in Japan while getting paid by a foreign company makes things very easy financially.
Japanese people can't speak English at all 🤣🤣🤣
hmm, this all sounds really great so far

this is the plan kind of
not even sure what the rent is in tokyo tbh
This article is mostly accurate. It's true that with a nomadic lifestyle, avoiding rising rent is impossible. Even for Japanese people, the rental contract procedures are a hassle.
I'll look into a few other things as well.
thank you so-so much for the intel already, feel free to dm me also, going to bed rn
The summers are brutal, but then so it is in the rest of japan too pretty much
how brutal is brutal?
I've been told by friends in the USA that I basically live in florida. It's very humid.
oh jesus, i guess my plan would be to work there remotely for 2-3 months, during the winter, as it gets super dark and freezing cold here
Nooo you would miss the cherry blossoms 🥺
Avoid July through September and you're good👌

3 weeks somewhere in Mid march to late April, depending on the year
