>>846747What everyone else said, but to add. She used a once in a lifetime visa Austr(al)ians get that lasts a year to do a roommate related job (translator for the olympics) and as you can tell, that turned out to be a wash
She theoretically COULD request another 1-time year visa, given the extremely rare circumstance.
But TL;DR - She WANTS to go home, but felt her time in JP wasn't what she had in mind by any variety
