I know that most colleges have an anime club. Also, there are some colleges that offer Japanese as a minor. Being an anime artist myself, I'm planning on taking classes in graphic design/game design when I go to college. But anywho, Japan is such a beautiful place. I lived there for seven years as a kid and would absolutely kill to go back. Flying to Japan is an approximately 11 hour flight, so you'd definitely want to bring some form of entertainment, such as handheld games or books. Do alot of research before you leave, you're gonna want to know what are good places to stay at, cost of food/housing, etc. Also, a English-Japanese dictionary always comes in handy for those basic needs. And make sure you convert some dollars into yen, those will also come in handy. As for jobs, I can't really say much. If you're part of a military family and have a military ID, you can always stop by the nearest base and see what jobs they have available there; finding a work place where the employer speaks english will probably be easier than going out on the streets searching for a job. Good luck :)
