the only caveat to that is if he got the apartment or if some company got it for him. I would assume if it's through a recruitment agency like what teachers go through it might be different. Either way it is still fucking incredibly retarded even if it comes furnished.
Lumping these two posts together as my reply is basically the same for both. Cheebs already stated that when he got the job his company wouldn't be providing housing so he has to do it himself. It's why I think Cheebs is in for a rough time because I doubt the company will have his back and if they honestly don't care if he can get a place or not. The fact that they aren't trying to or even willing to help him with anything is a red flag in my opinion.There's absolutely furnished appartments in Japan, some rentals are aimed at students so you'll often see them there. Sometimes company provided, etc. But if cheebs is already looking for apartments it looks like his company won't help him.
I don't know if anything has changed, but I'm pretty sure Cheebs Visa application hasn't been approved yet. I think he mentioned he was waiting for it while apartment hunting is pretty fucking dumb. I think Falcon Sebben or Oliver Onions posted about it.That's a work visa, he needs confirmed employment in Japan that will provide him with a Certificate Of Eligability (COE) which will be traded for a visa when he arrives. I'm pretty sure he mentioned that part was already covered from his work. He can get into Japan, but if I recall he only has a month to register for an address, so getting an apartment at the last minute is a bad idea.
TLDR I think his Japan misadventure will happen unless he fucks up money or housing really bad.
