Festivals are held in almost every city in Japan, and even the remotest locations are easily accessible by the train and bus systems. As well, every town in Japan is nice.
2 :
yes tokyo is expensive, but the train system in japan is really good, so no matter where you live, you can get to shibuya, tokyo very easy. I live near kamakura and for me to get to shibuya takes about 1 hour. festivals are every where in japan, not just tokyo.
3 :
"Best place" is very subjective to opinion. Many places are accessible to Shibuya especially with the massive train system. I lived in Kanagawa (south of Tokyo) that was easy access to Shibuya. Live where you can afford to live. Live where you can get a job and make a living. Worry about the rest later.

The most important and expensive part of Tokyo is in the Yamanote line circle, particularly lower (south) half. We have government buildings and the most expensive apartments there. Outside of Yamanote line, the further you go from the line, the cheaper land is. We have residential sections in all North South, East, West. So it's pretty the same no matter which direction you go.

Kobe.

Kobe. I don't like Tokyo simply because the Tokyo accent freaks me out.
7 :
If you are just planning to stay on a couple of months or shorter months, there are guest houses in Shibuya that cost from 60,000 - 100,000 yen per month. Tokyo has many festivals. Shibuya has local festivals or events too. If you wish to live outside Tokyo or just in the outskirts of Tokyo, there are towns like Fussa. You can also live in Yokohama which is also just near Tokyo.
8 :
One of my favourite places in Japan is Yokohama. Yokohama is the second largest city in Japan after Tokyo and is located by the sea close to Tokyo. Yokohama has a lot to offer including the futuristic Minato Mirai 21 harbourtown, Yokohama Marine Town and Chinatown. It is an International city and a great plave to live and commute to Tokyo.

Out in the boonies of Hokkaido is cheaper. But transportation is a problem, not to mention few people speak English.
2 :
How about near the college with the advanced technology you speak of?
3 :
If you want to go to a college in Japan, you have to prepare at least $25,000 for 1 year. So $5,000 does not change anything. "cheap" places are like in deep mountains of Hokkaido or some other places. But there is no college there.
4 :
Let's just forget about actually getting a job so you could move here, the difficulty of doing so and other various things I get tired of talking about. $5000 would get you a plane ticket here and pretty much cover the costs of settling into an apartment. That leaves you with no money for food, much less money to pay for college. POP!!!!

What is the best way to become fluent in Japanese without having to live in Japan

What is the best way to become fluent in Japanese without having to live in Japan?

RosettaStone

The best? Go to your local Japantown, or find Japanese friends, and immerse yourself in the language that way. Otherwise, immerse yourself without people. Listen toJapanese music (And I mean really listen. Don't just take the words as part of the tune, try and figure them out). Watch Japanese TV. Try and read Japanese books the best you can. Of course, through both of these methods you are going to need either a tutor or a textbook for self-study. ***EDIT*** Figured I may as well add, because the other person brought it up. Rosetta Stone is a wonderful place to START. It's method of teaching is not unlike what I recommended. However, even taking it as far as you possible can go, Rosetta Stone doesn't even come close to fluency. Not even the halfway mark. You cannot achieve fluency through it alone.

Language School
4 :
Taking Japanese conversation classes is an alternative that you can choose to become fluent in Japanese. And you can make the best use of online resources. http://www.infocobuild.com/language/japanese/japanese.html
