Why i HATED Living in Japan

After several months in Japan, he concludes affordable, quiet housing is inaccessible without a visa, Japanese partner, or substantial income. He describes a £400 guesthouse as noisy and poorly built, contrasting it with Thailand’s £250 condo and his UK home. He rejects Japanese employment and finding another wife, cites roughly £700–£1,700 monthly income, and plans only short, comfortable Japan visits.

Japan shifts from a residence dream to short-term tourism as housing, money, and autonomy dominate.
