wow, there is a lot to consider hey  what with the language/communication barrier. Hmmm, I planned on doing my Masters there but it needs serious thought. You see, I've heard of many foreigners going abroad there, to do masters or doctrates; always wondered how they did it. If however, one plans on working for a Japanese company full-time, then as a foreigner, are you still tied down for life? I only wanted to further my studies there >_<" so that I could venture off to other parts of the world or return home and start my own company (^___^)" Japan is the most advanced in my line <cue nervous laugh>
...I have 3 years to think this through.Your correspondence is greatly appreciated.

I've personally never heard of anyone doing post-grad studies in Japan unless it was in Japanese Language or they were fluent enough to take advanced classes in another subject in Japanese. If you know of people who've done it, though, I'd say ask them about it. Where did they go, how much was it, were the classes as good or better than what they had back home, etc. I was just an ALT in the inaka, very far from Tokyo, who has had an interest in Japan ever since. What Tokyo has or doesn't have isn't really my specialty, but in my experience, if it's something very specialized (like Engineering post-grad studies in English) in Tokyo, it's going to be expensive if you can find it at all...
Good luck though!
