However, there is nothing about being an English teacher that would prevent you from immersing yourself into your local Japanese culture. If anything it would give you more access than someone who was working for a Western corporation.
i think it may depend on who you teach and what part of the culture you will actually experience.

My main experience learning about the culture was with senior classes of 60's and over..

It was like "hello", NO! - NO! Konnichiwa!

Quite funny really.. That's Kyoto for ya! and a lot of FUN
