1, studying as a graduate student at Hokkaido University is not as difficult as expected, and the study abroad policy after three years, including the university's application for postgraduate courses for foreign students, will definitely be more favorable. Don't worry.
2. Your understanding is correct. It is necessary to minor in economics in domestic universities, and the basic theory and professional courses of econometrics should be completed. This is not only the need of book review, but also the necessity of attending face-to-face interviews. Try to apply for a second degree, which will help you apply for a famous teacher.
3. It is more necessary to insist on English learning. As for the effectiveness of TOEFL, don't worry, it can be done within 2 years. As long as you keep studying, your ibt80 score is above 80. Foreign language ability is only an aid, but also one of the qualification elements.
4. So, you are under great pressure. You should not only learn Japanese well, but also learn English well and take economics as an elective course. So, you need perseverance.
As for whether it was through an intermediary at that time, it depends on your situation at that time, and it is too early to draw a conclusion now. By then, individual applications will certainly be more encouraged.

7. There are only three ways now: going to a language school-taking an examination of a junior college; Graduate school-take an examination of college; Apply for a short-term exam visa to go to college. After three years, it is estimated that more people may get permission to go to college directly from short-term visas, rather than through the first two ways. However, this is only a prediction, who knows.
