I'm pretty sure that adultery isn't illegal, but like one of the other posters implied if you're not Japanese and married to a Japanese citizen, and you decide to divorce, then you're pretty much screwed. If you're planning on leaving your partner I'd recomend seeing a solicitor/lawyer right away. Don't take your kids back to your home country though as most Western countries are required to send children back in these cases, whereas Japan has no such law, meaning you'd be forced to send yout kids back to your partner and the case of 'abduction' will look awful on you, ruining your chances to keep the kids. So I guess either stay with them or seek legal advice.
