You’ll need 2 full time Japanese staff to secure that visa also, and about USD$300,000 to pay upfront costs on a cafe.....are you familiar with upfront deposits in Japan? A teeny tiny place will set you back around $20,000 a month in rent, and overheads are crazy too....lunch is Japan is crazy cheap, between ¥500~¥800 gets a very good meal, including drink, so profit margin is very slim. Dinners and drinks are were money needs to be made, but it’s a cut throat industry and you’ll need to stand out. (Yep I’ve done everything on your list )

Thanks s for your response, but please what do I do

If you can afford the start up costs, you may get lucky and make money.....but very few places stay open more than a couple of years

Thanks for the reply, I'm under no illusions of the challenges that'd be involved especially in Japan as neither of us are Japanese but it's on the 'check out' list. Only other place to check is Paris which is EU so we wouldn't need visas to work there. Japan is still more appealing tho despite that.
