Your comments about the ease of extending your work term are especially welcome, as I have considered (assuming I like it enough there) staying for longer than a single year to give me a better opportunity to develop my knowledge of the Japanese language during my stay. I will likely come with some modest personal study (about 2 months worth, as that will be the time between my graduation and possible move to Japan) and I fortunately have an affinity for languages, as well as the drive to learn them.
Anyone else's comments are also quite welcome. Thanks a lot to everyone!

You are very welcome.
Also, I would recommend staying more than one year as employers know the JET program, and know it's a 1,2 or 3 year deal. Staying for 2 or 3 years says "I am a dedicated go-getter." Staying for only one might say "I jump ship as soon as I feel challenged or something better comes along."
