What work is available on a Japan Working Holiday Visa? -

Considering Japan is a largely monolingual country, I assume this greatly limits the work available to a non-Japanese speaker? So, what type of work should I expect to find? Is it difficult to find jobs?

On a Working holiday visa you cannot work in bars, mahjong parlours, or any other illegal respites. You ARE allowed, however, to obtain a position as assistant English teacher.

dishwashing, serving , clerk of hotel, etc you can t teach english whenever you are if you don t deserve to teach someone Report Abuse

I don t see why you can t work in a bar... plenty of working holiday folk work in the bars in Roppongi. Most of the barmen I knew at the bars I went to were on working holiday visas. English teaching, and recruitment. (Either as a recruiter, or researcher.) And then there s always the possibility they d want to sponsor your work visa after your working holiday visa expires. So I reckon, for someone on a working holiday visa who doesn t speak Japanese, the options are: teaching English, working in a bar or recruiting.

not assume. it is obviouse that Japan is monolingual nation.
