In
Japan if you don't have a guarantor you can't even get the address
registration called Juminhyo, even when we apply for the apartment
they ask for the Juminhyo knowing that we need an apartment to get a
registration.
We
checked thoroughly you can get one even from the net cafe or monthly
mansion but real estate company never accept the registration from
the net cafe.
So
the most likely way to solve is staying in monthly mansion for a
couple of months and get registration first then you move over to an
ordinary apartment.
Fortunately
I called my ex colleague used to work together who succeeded the real
estate company before we left Sydney.
He
happened to manage exclusively the whole building with the former
employee running reform and maintenance company but the situation was
still hard.
We
offered to pay six month rent in advance and stay for at least two
years adding some to please the owner of the building.
The
unit was one bed room compact one and location was perfect for my
wife to teach English around Shibuya area.
Funny
thing is she was sometimes sent to Seijo school which is in the
building owned by Kiyohiko my eldest brother who happened to inherit
after our father passed away.
It
was going alright for a while, my wife worked online with the
Australian company she used to work for besides teaching English
three or four days a week.
The
income was satisfactory if we count my pension and the small income
from the Seijo property.
After
a year and a half passed wife got bored of teaching English and found
out staying in Japan is bad for her career path that she might lose
an opportunity to go back to the previous company she used to work
for.
I
found the hospital with haematology doctors three minutes walk from
the unit it was convenient but not for a foreigner like my wife.
For
all those we finally decided to leave Japan getting rid of everything
including friends and family.
As a
result two years stay in Japan was long enough to take a big decision
to leave Japan for good.
