The big problem is finding work and the resume' hole that life in Japan creates. Most HR departments in major companies are wise to the fact that in general Japan experience is at best no experience (and normally is a big negative).

A trip to Japan last year reinforced the reasons of why I had had enough of Japan but at least you can go back for a visit if you start missing the place.
Reverse culture shock is a factor - it's taken me 4 years to get back into living in England and I fricking hate it. Waiting for other half to graduate and whisk me off to foreign climes.....
