what are living costs like in Japan and also, how easy is it to Find work


what are living costs like in Japan and also, how easy is it to Find work?
I am thinking about relocating from ENGLAND to some where in JAPAN for 12-18 months, and was wondering about living costs over there and also how easy it is for a Englishmen to find work in Japan. (ofc when the time comes to actually relocating, I would by then know basic japanese) So, what do you think? Have you ever been there and what can you tell me?

Living costs are high. Tokyo is now at the top of the list for being the most expensive. Being a Brit, I think you can qualify for a ' working holiday". Without having a special skill, it's hard for anyone to find work. They're in a major recession, and even Japanese are having problems finding work. If you check out their government web site it will tell you all about visas. In most cases, you need a four year degree to work there.But I'm not sure if the working holiday visa falls under the same class. We Americans are not allowed the working holiday visa status. Good luck !
