I had 3 weeks vacation every year due to being a manager and I got to take it right before my contract ended. And since I was going home, I wasn't allowed to travel out of my city since "there are so many loose ties that need to be taken care of". So my dream of traveling around Asia never happened. One lady I worked with (she was Japanese) actually demanded to take a week off to go to Spain. When she came back, they forced her to quit by making life there uncomfortable (she worked for them for 15 years).
working in Japan is like no other place. Be prepared to live for your job.
