I have applied for a lot of jobs in and around Osaka and I have been thinking about just heading to Japan in August regardless of whether or not i am able to find a job before then.

i figure that when i get there, i will be able to find a job a lot easier. I will be able to stay in a hotel without paying more than 200 dollars for the first month and i can use that time to find an apartment.

Do you think this is a wise choice? My real fear is that i will have used up the working holiday visa that is only issued once and a lot of money without finding a job. I know that i will likely have to stay in Japan for about 4 months before i would think about packing up and going home, i think its a risk but what do you think about it?
