My friend who lives in Tokyo has similar school hours to those in the United States, except for one day a week has school until 5:30 or 6pm.

I believe it depends on the level of school you're talking about, and for junior and senior high school it also depends on whether or not you count after-school club activities. At my junior high school, the first class starts at 8:50 and classes end at 4:00. However, most kids arrive at school by 8:15, and they stay until about 6:30 for club activities. Some clubs might also have morning practice, and that can start very early (I think one of my teachers mentioned arriving around 6:00am to open the school for morning club activities). Many of the kids will also have juku (cram school) for a few hours in the evening.

Typically, it's between 8:30am to 2:30pm. But it depends on each school, of course. Some of the kids stay at the school later for their clubs. Colleges have longer hours.

Can you speak, read and write Japanese at a native level ? If not, you won't be accepted into any schools.

It depends on what kind of flight school you mean, to be a pilot? or? In any case, I don't think you can "continue" your study in Japan. You have to start from the beginning of the course at a Japanese school.

If you find yourself in the West of Tokyo you can use the flight school on Yokota US airbase. http://www.yokotasupport.com/page.php?31 over and out.

I don't think so.Outside of an exchange program, I don't think you could go to a Japanese high school. Most high schools teach in Japanese only. There's no chance of renting an apartment at 17 in Japan. You need to be old enough to sign a contract. It isn't even easy for a 25 year old to rent a place in Japan.Many Japanese landlords won't rent to a non-Japanese.Those that do want 2 or 3 months rent in advance,plus another month or two rent for key money.You'd need a student visa to spend a year there. Sorry.

You usually need working or student visa to live in Japan. For working visa, you have to get a job offer from a Japanese company. But you can't look for a job in Japan without a visa. So you need it before you enter Japan. For student visa, you have to be admitted to a Japanese college. You need to pay tuition and living cost for 4 years. It could be about $80,000. You can get a student visa if you are admitted to a high school in Japan (17 is the age to go to a high school in Japan). But it's very hard if you don't speak or read Japanese. And of course, you need $20,000-30,000 money to live in Japan for 1 year.
