So i want to go to japan using a program called workaway, if you aren't familiar with it basically, you work for a company or a person in exchange for accommodation for a short period of time. so it's a good way to travel for cheap. I've never been out of the country before and have wanted to do this for a while and i have my heart set on going to japan. But i've never been out of the country before and I'm only 19. I've done a little bit of research on the types of visa used to go to japan but i'm starting to get discouraged because it doesn't seem like i can qualify for the visas. I don't think i can go on a tourist visa because i will technically be getting compensated. and i can't go on a work visa since i'm only 19 and obviously don't have a bachelors degree. I saw something about a working holiday visa but came to find out i can't get one because i'm a US citizen. so i'm at a loss for what i can do. I'd really like to go using the workaway program because i don't have much money and i'd also like to be immersed in the culture by staying with a Japanese family. I really have my heart set on going using the workaway method but now i'm afraid that i won't get to :/ does anyone have any advice or know of any other visas that may be available?
