As for frequent visiting affecting long term stay applications, I would say it might benefit you - makes it look as though you are really keen on the country!

Thanks Chachava,
It's not so much as a Visa, more like a landing stamp - it's date of expiry is 3 months after your arrival date - It's cancelled when you leave Japan, but when you re-enter it starts anew. You can get a 6 month extension as a visitor upon application.
Still looking for clarification on spousal rights and I'll be contacting the Japanese Consulate in Edinburgh when I'm there next month.
In a related issue, does anyone know what the Policy of the UK is regarding Japanese residents who want to live and work in the UK? I'm going to approach the foreign office anyway - but if anyone knows for reference - please reply.
Thanks again
Gary
