"better" options? You mean other ways of coming to Japan?

I'm an Aussie so I was able to come here on a working holiday visa, if you're from one of the countries that are part of the working-holiday partnerships with Japan (it works both ways) then I would definitely recommend it. You can basically do anything with that visa- work, travel, and study, and the transition to a full working visa is as painless as ever.

If not, well then you're going to have to look at your options. Some of my friends came here in different situations eg; as a student, married to a Japanese national, recruited by a company to do a job in their particular field, as a JET, with Nova, and on the working-holiday system. Like I said, look into it. There are jobs that foreigners can do, but Japanese language skills might be a requirement. Read: learning Japanese will be one of the best things that you could ever do before coming to Japan. It will open many doors...
