japan living

I have been looking into living in Japan with AJX.
First AJX may provide a residency card, I emphasis maybe, because it's untested but it has been muted. However that means tax in Japan 25% odd.
The real trouble is schooling, for an x-pats school in Tokyo, the first year fees are around 35k US per child reducing to 25 in subsequent years.
The prospect of putting my kids in a local school is to much to bear.They will not find it easy.
Living in tokyo is about 3.5k per month for rent.Living in Narita is out because, no schools
I figure if we all don't eat for a year I can afford it.
