The BIGGEST MISTAKE foreign residents make in Japan

It’s extremely scary to be living in a foreign country and unable to pay your bills. A lot of foreign residents here don’t expect that in their second year, they start getting bills for residence tax and their health insurance has suddenly increased. Also worth noting: each prefecture and ward/city taxes you differently, and your bills are based off your income, so there is not one standard price for everyone.
