Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with us, really appreciated.
Although I don’t have that level of Japanese, I’m currently working in Kyoto at a startup as Fullstack developer. I can relate to many things you’ve mentioned.
Congratulations! Kyoto is a beautiful place to work with a thriving startup scene (especially, apparently, in games). If you ever need someone to talk to, just shoot me a message.
You're right, it's mostly startups only atm. Absolutely, it would be great to get in touch!
I see you studied abroad for a year, which university/school is it?
I should be following you now, but I linked a negotiation article that gives a really good foundation. Search for "negotiate", you should find it useful
I realize it's been a few years, but I made a second part to this article where I talk about my salary as a freelancer, and released the first version of an app to help learn Japanese from the materials you like!
The second version of the article is linked above. The app is learnkichi.com
Of course! If you have any questions at all, please let me know either here or on Twitter (where I'll see it as a notification on my phone, and can answer faster).

Kansai Gaidai in Hirakata. Loved it, and I've been to Kyoto a bunch - especially for indie game studio meets. :)
What a coincidence, I exchanged there for a semester too. Still meeting up with friends from there.
I can’t DM you because you’re not following me, but I would like to ask you about salaries and how to negotiate it here.

Congrats on Kichi, it looks great and sure will come in handy!
