I'm about to fly in 5 weeks and my biggest concern right now is accommodation. I want to stay a few months in Osaka, preferably in Sakai region. The issue is, I don't know many websites that are trustworthy and provide monthly rental, furnished accommodations.
Some people recommended consulting real estate agents on site, but don't I need to reserve an apartment/shared house beforehand, so that I don't run into the issue of not registering my residency within 14 days of arrival?
And speaking of shared houses, I'd prefer apartments, even if they tend to be more expensive.
The second biggest concern is finding a part-time job. How easy is it to find part-time jobs? Since I might be moving a lot and don't have the biggest budget, I basically have to work all 12 months. I don't want to work in customer service but I would gladly do logistic/metal working jobs (literally almost anything as long as it's not customer service).
Would love some recommendations :)
