16? Can you convince your parents to move their too? It's not exactly cheap to live in Japan. You can probably make some money teaching English part-time, but who's going to pay for your accomodation and everything else? You might want to ask your school guidance counselor about exchange programs. Almost every city in Japan has a "sister city" (or a few) paired up with other cities around the world. It's very likely that your city has a sister city in Japan that you may not know about. You might be able to swing an exchange to that city. A lot of people do that. You're going to have to do some research. Just keep asking, and don't believe all the "no's" you'll inevitably hear. People just don't know. You have to be persistent. In general, Japanese love it when someone comes over from the West.

I was sixteen when I first went to Japan. There are many great exchanges out there, some which offer fiancial assistance, some don't. But it is definately the easiest way to go. I answered a similar question a while ago. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnPZZIQ47K6PD3NZQLtWEa3ty6IX?qid=20070618012049AARRvTh&show=7#profile-info-dqE7psY0aa Good Luck!

If you really are Black, I wouldn't advise going to Japan. You're in for a rude awakening. Very few Japanese respect Blacks at all. If you're willing to go through a sexless, lower than third-class citizen experoience, then Japan is for you. If you aren't Black, then you might find it enjoyable.

I think you should wait until university. You can do some university exchanges.
