    If you have to ask total strangers online, then of course it's impossible, because you have no faith in yourself.

    It's not that I have no faith I want to know if it's even possible for something like that to happen?

    1. Why do you want to move to Japan?
    2. Will you have skills and an education wanted by the Japanese?
    3. Will you be able to speak fluent Japaese by the time you are 25?
    4. Have you researched relocating to Japan?

    1, since I was 16 I've wanted to move the because I'm fascinated with their country, culture, history and their people.

    Do you want to move there and live there, and work there? If so, for how long?

    You'll have to find out what their immigration laws are, if you qualify, and then save your money.

    And remember, Japanese is, in a sense, two languages--one spoken and one written. Better start learning Japanese now!

    Japan has a history of a very tight immigration policy. It is an island and is crowded.
    The good news for you is that the senior population is a staggering 40% of the people, and they need more young people.
    However, anyone applying for immigration status (not refugee) has to prove that they have a skill needed by employers of that country. The policies often change from year to year.

    You are old enough to research their immigration application process.

    Read an article in Construction News or a similar source where some people, living in Japan, live in a complex that has community cooking, living and bath but only a small room for sleeping and storage. They still paid something like $500/month for the bedroom and storage. I believe the unit was 96 sq. ft.
