i want to go to high school in Japan, but should i wait till college

i want to go to high school in Japan, but should i wait till college?
i want to experience a Japanese high school life, but I'm not sure if that will be beneficial for my future. I live in a foreign country right now, and ever since i was small I've always dreamed of attending a Japanese school in japan. i have my chance to do so now, but I'm worried that if i go to high school in japan, i would have a smaller chance of being able to go to a first class college or university in japan, than if i stay here. if i graduate high school here, there's more of a possibility of a successful future, but I'd be terribly bored with my life for 4 to 5 years. also, if i DO go to japan for high school, it doesn't mean that my life is doomed, there's always a possibility of getting into a first class college-and if i do, it'd be easier than if i transfer to japan after graduating HS. i really want to live in japan for my high school life, but I'm worried about the consequences. what do you think i should do? btw, i think someone misunderstood (which is my fault) but i am japanese, my parents are both japanese, but i've lived in the states and a few other asian countries all my life, i visit japan for the summers (i have relatives there) but never lived there before

Its all according to what you plan for the rest of your life. You have to decide how this decision will alter your future. No one can tell you what to do, its a decision that you must make completely on your own. The best thing to do is to make a pro/cons list for eache choice.

I have a buddy that was stationed out there before being courtmarshalled and ultimately discharged from the army for going awol in Japan. He says he would never go there alone to try and live a normal life.. It can be pretty rough. Granted he was into some gnarly criminal things.. But logic tells me that it's never a good idea to be a single foriegner there. let alone probably a 14 year old kid.

What do Students in Japan Pay Tuition

What do Students in Japan Pay Tuition?
I've been wondering for the longest time, but why do kids in Middle School and High School in Japan have to PAY to go to school? A tuition? I was wondering, because in America, I think the taxes pay for that. Like I can go to school without paying to. Why do they have to?

They pay to go to private schools just like your parents would pay to send you to a private school. Private schools offer a better education and usually have established relationships with prestigious universities. In Japan if you don't go to the best university then you have very slim chances of being very successful or marrying someone very successful. So you pay to go to a good middle school so you can go to a good high school so you can go to a good university so you can get a good job. Japan isn't America--it's not the land of opportunity. It's very dog-eat-dog.
