Ok, thats an amazing package, but jobs with that kind of compensation package are also available in North America.
But I do see your point, the long hours really was a killer. My cousin, on an average get about 35 hours a week.. and 20 of those are over the weekend only.
Don't get me wrong, my intention isn't to tell people "Don't Go". I mean I love Japan, and I really miss Japan (before others start drilling me on this, I live there and went to school there when I was a kid). But at the same time, I want the average teenager on the board to understand that it is not what it seemed in the animate and manga, so before they jump up and down asking about how to get there, first think about WHY you want to go there
Now, for sure for a vacation is a totally different story... however, this year is probably my last trip there until probably a few years later, may even be until 2016 Tokyo olympics
