I did this back in 2010.
>You get paid absolute shit
>You live in a wanky little studio in whatever city you end up in, for me it was Hiroshima
>You really don't make many friends because they Japanese people you meet know you're temporary and won't waste their time getting to know you. The best you can hope for is people wanting free engrish practice
>Japanese girls have insane white man cock lust, but they're not looking for any kind of connection. You're a JSL JET program chimp and they know it.
>You get bored within 3 months as you've travelled everywhere worth travelling and done everything worth doing
>Your best friends are your fellow JET program slaves as you basically live out of each others pockets
>The language centre staff are complete cunts and try to exploit you every which way they can, if they can find an excuse to make you cover shifts and not pay you, they will
>Forget a raise, the longest person there hadn't gotten one in 2 years
>You absolutely will get harassed by school kids regularly, doubly so if you're remotely photogenic and blonde hair green eyed
>Be prepared to get "Where are you from!?" at least 4 times a day every day
>Remember, you can't afford a fucking thing.
>Seriously the money is garbage, be prepared to save for 2 weeks to rent a car for a day
>Japanese food is no longer cool or exotic when you've eaten it for 3 months straight
>You're always tired because talking all day is actually fucking exhausting, the commutes are long and the pollution is thick.
>Loneliness is a way of life for the Japanese, and it'll be yours too.
The coolest thing I did there was bang a teenager in a kareoke booth on Christmas eve.
>The second coolest thing was rail a kids mom when private tutoring for extra cash. Turns out women are whores everywhere.
>Snore.
Japan is a country you visit, not a country you live in. Their way of life is hellish.
