But in Japan, you need a“guarantor”to rent an apartment if you are a foreigner. Also, there is no furniture with rental housing in Japan and you need to buy what you require. We recommend you live in the rental apartment provided by the university.

Obtaining Permission to Engage in Activity Other Than That Permitted under the Status of ResidenceInternational students who entered Japan on a Study Abroad visa who wish to supplement their student fees and living costs by working part-time are required to obtain in advance Permission to Engage in Activity Other Than That Permitted under the Status of Residence.

Clothing for Winter in Sapporo

It is convenient to have fleece clothing, etc. so that you can add an extra layer inside your coat when necessary.

It is recommended to wear thin functional inner clothing so that you can adjust to both warm and cold temperatures.

It is important to prevent your legs from getting cold by wearing leg warmers when wearing tights and shorter length pants. Disposable heat packs (“Kairo”) are also useful.

Snow boots are warm and prevent you from slipping on snowy roads.

Shoes with a jagged grip are good at preventing slipping when the ground is frozen.

＊Does not include tuition fees.＊Some months may require additional expenditure for study tours or other class activities.＊During winter you will need a heater, so utility costs are higher than that of other seasons.

The climate in Sapporo has the typical characteristics of the climate on the Japan Sea coast with a cool summer and heavy snow in winter. You may be concerned that it will be very cold in Hokkaido in winter, but don’t worry. Residences and buildings are insulated against the cold and use heating, so when you are inside, you feel even warmer than inside most buildings in other parts of Japan.
