I am interested in travelling abroad to go to an international school in Japan until I am 18, would it somehow be possible to live away from school?
I have reasonable financial support however I am not experienced in the language and my parents are not in the country

Yawn (we often get the same person asking this question in a slightly different way).

International teacher here. Can you live by yourself without parents? No.

Your only option is a boarding school. One I'm aware of is UWC Japan. Note that this school is expensive and in the middle of no-where. There might be one or two other schools that I'm unaware of.

I have read a thread with almost same question as yours.
Basically the answer is "No" or "Extremely difficult".

Graduate your high school first and then try to join a university.
