i assume you're looking for a 3G data plan for your laptop? (You can not add 3G data in Japan to your existing foreign cell phone.) Found this. This is a prepaid 3G data service which include 150 hours of usage over 480 days. It uses NTT docomo's 3G network. http://www.bmobile.ne.jp/english/detail_3g.html This one is a month-to-month contract http://www.e-ca.jp/ and uses e-moibile 3G network, which is limited to larger cities. If you're going to country-sides, better use a service that use NTT Docomo's network. If you go to Japan often, try Willcom core 3G, which also uses NTT Docomo's 3G network. And, this is the one I have. http://www.willcom-inc.com/core/core_3g/index_02.html You get charged only for 945 Yen for the month you don't use at all, and for the maximum of 6930 Yen for the month you use a lot. Willcom has filed for reorganization last week, although they continue to offer services. There're a few data card rental places at Narita airport http://www.pupuru.com/en/service/emobile/ http://www.mbsol.co.jp/ubiqi/shop1.html NTT Docomo and Softbank also have the 3G data services directly from them. http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/service/data/foma/introduction/data_lineup/index.html http://mb.softbank.jp/mb/data_card/

Is your cousin who lives in Japan, Japanese? Japan Labor Standards Laws: (Minimum Age) Article 56. An employer shall not employ children until the first 31st of March following their having fully reached the age of 15 years. 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, outside of school hours, children above 13 full years of age maybe employed in occupations in enterprises other than those listed in items 1 through 5 of Annexed Table No. 1, and which involve light labor that is not harmful to the health and welfare of the children, with the permission of the administrative office. The same shall apply to children under 13 full years of age employed in motion picture production and theatrical performance enterprises.

Well, legally you can work at 15 in Japan. But if you did not finish high school or college, you would not choose jobs at all. Japanese employers do not want to hire people who did not finish schools. So it's virtually impossible to have a job you want at 15. except for part-time jobs.

Can I apply for work in Japan if I am pregnant
Can I apply for work in Japan if I am pregnant?
I am an ESL teacher; I've always wanted to work in Japan. Recently I found out I was pregnant and now I don't know if can apply for any of the jobs that I worked so hard to find. My child would be born in Japan. I would like that to be the case; as I intend to live and stay in Japan for life. But I don't know what the legal issues behind that are; or if there are any. Would anyone hire a pregnant woman? Does anyone know where I might find information on it.

their are no leagal resons why u can't . just get your immigrations stuff together like normal. but as for hireing a pregnant woman that will be hard, same as here no one wants to hire a pregnant woman couse they will be gone in a short period of time its not worth the cost of training if they have to do it all again in 7 months

You are going to need to find a very understanding employer. You have to register with Japan's City/Town Hall as a foreign resident, but you need a sponsor (this case, employer). Without registration, you can't get social insurance (w/out this you pay exorbitant medical fees). Japan's job applicant cut-off rate is pretty severe because it is traditionally based on age and status. Being an ESL teacher is a plus, but sadly, your chances of being hired with your current situation (pregnant) are not the best because your employer is going to have to consider the time off due to pregnancy and childcare. Also, the prefecture where you plan to teach can also affect your chances.
