I know what you're thinking: Moving to Tokyo is going to be a whole world of stress. That's what I thought at least. There was the language barrier, the fact that I had no idea where in the city I wanted to live and the innumerable articles I'd read online providing helpful information on just how next-to-impossible it was going to be.
It's true that setting up in Tokyo isn't always a straightforward process. Some things can be frustrating and others surprisingly easy. It just takes some time and a little insider knowledge, rather than just trying to wade through the mountains of information out there. It's actually not as hard as you might think.
In order to bust the myth that moving to Tokyo is some sort of hoop-jumping, bureaucratic hell, I'm sharing my not-so-hellish experiences. Hopefully, you'll get a good idea of how to set up your life in Tokyo.
