I guess I should start off by giving you some background about myself.

Although I was born in Canada, my parents are Japanese. All of my relatives and a huge number of my friends currently live there so I remain well connected. I'm also fluent in Japanese, although my reading/writing is somewhere between JLPT 1 and 2.

So, as you can see, the move for me would involve a lot less risk than most people.

With that being said, I'm perfectly happy with my work/life balance right now. I'm confident that it's something which would be impossible to achieve in Japan.
