 |  
				| Hi, 
 I'm considering applying for a working holiday visa and plan on getting a job teaching in Japan.  What is the best month to arrive in Japan in order to find work?
 
 Thanks

				| Either one.  The job opportunities begin opening in February and get more plentiful in March. |  |

				| I heard this time of year is the best time to apply for jobs in japan also. but I am wondering will the jobs pay for the applicants flight over? Also besides the smaller schools in japan, don't the big 3 language schools take workers anytime of the year? |  |

 Few schools pay for your flight over to japan.
 
 Yes, the big schools do hire year round on regular recruiting schedules.
