We were both raised here but I am a Japanese female and my husband is an Iranian man background. Does the Japanese government base the decision on male or female sex of me? If there is a number of minimum required years we have been together 3.5 years. We also have been at this residence for 3.5 years. Thanks

"We were both raised here " Where? Iran? It mostly depends on whether you actually have Japanese nationality. That would depend on whether your parents registered you with Japanese authorities. If you do, then you can move to Japan freely if you have a Japanese passport, you would need to establish an address before your husband could come though. If you have relatives here it would be best to arrange to stay with them for a few weeks while you try to rent a place. If you don't actually speak Japanese it would be extremely difficult. For your husband's spouse visa you'll need all his documents, proof that he had plenty of cash available, your documents, and your marriage certificate. It would also help if you enter the marriage on your koseki-tohon before you start the procedure. If everything's in order there shouldn't be a problem. But work might be difficult, jobs are rather scarce and if you and/or your husband can't speak Japanese you'll be very limited for choice. Japanese women can still remain Japanese when they marry a foreigner, and their children can also get Japanese nationality. It wasn't always this way, but it is now. And Japan has no argument with Iran, so that won't go against him unless he (or you) are on a list of suspected terrorists.

If you still hold Japanese citizenship, you should have no problems. Have you ever heard of Yu Darvish? He's an ace pitcher of the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters baseball team, and he's a mix of a Japanese mother and Iranian father, so there's no problem with Iranians in Japan.
