Where would your daughter attend school…i.e. would you try to send her to an English language school? You may or may not be aware secondary school in Japan is very stressful and very rigorous. The students spend a ton of time prepping for exams…like it is success or failure for life type exams. Thus not many kids her age will be “hanging out.” Based on my personal experience living in Japan I would also say that it may not be for someone who needs deep or warm connections–that can be hard to find with Japanese people as a foreigner (gaijin) but the ex pat community bonds very quickly.
