yes it is cause if you american it's gonna be harder for you before you learn the languages.

Japan is currently going through a very bad recession. You need a four year degree to work there. You need a work visa as well. And to get the work visa you need a job offer before you get there.Unless you have a special skill they don't have, jobs will always go to a native Japanese first. Besides that, most jobs will require that you have native level Japanese. So what is your job field ? Also realize your co-workers will be Japanese.And most Japanese don't speak English.

Japan is not an asylum for the losers from the U.S. Majority (not all) of Americans who come to Japan to "TEACH" their damn language are jobless losers back home. Japan does not need Americans unless you have a special talent that no Japanese have. If you have that, all of us would welcome you!

I hope you're a doctor, brain surgeon, rocket scientist, micro-biologist, because Japan doesn't need too many Americans working for them unless you have a very special degree. Most Japanese companies would choose an incompetent Japanese before a decent American. They prefer Japanese. So, unless you have a really good, special, skill, you're gonna get passed over.

They hire foreigners. No worries. But Do no't expect much. Japan won't change your life if you JUST want to get away from the state.
