    Just like anywhere, it has good and bad points. Almost all of my friends are japanese as is my wife. I work 40 hours with some overtime here and there, but basically the same as the US (I’m a software engineer). I recently bought a farm and we live in the countryside so I’m trying to get all that sorted as well

      Sounds good. I just heard bad things about the work hours and such.

      Would love yo go to the country though!

        Totally depends upon the company and its management. There is legislation in place to try to prevent things, but some workers will clock out and illegally continue working due to pressure which just perpetuates that shit cycle.
