How I did it: DId a 3 month internship in Tokyo and lived in an apartment in Monzen Nakacho. You need to arrange everything well in advance, but with a US passport you can stay in Japan for 3 months without a visa. Also, finding housing in a country you don't live in without references is hard, so I found my apartment through a guesthouse agency. Friends I made through work and friends of friends in Tokyo made the whole experience fun and fulfilling.  Read how I did it…
