(family, life in Tokyo, etc.)
Family
The School of Engineering believes that it is only natural for you to live with your spouse and children while in Tokyo. However, before inviting your family, we recommend you think carefully about the current living conditions in Tokyo. During the first couple of months in Tokyo, you will be extremely busy both as a student, and in settling in to life in Japan. In addition, you should consider the extra expense incurred by the presence of dependents. In addition to more expensive living quarters, you will also be obliged to arrange legal documentation such as a Certificate of Eligibility for your family members.
In general, we recommend that you initially come on your own, and then invite your spouse and children after you have become accustomed and settled in to life in Japan.
