I just came back from a 3 week stint in Japan and absolutely LOVED it. Seriously thinking of moving over there for a little while (6months - 2 years). I'm an Oracle applications software developer. One possibility is trying to do Oracle consulting over there, but I'd like to do something new.

Anyone have any recommendations on getting a software position in Tokyo? Also, how tough is the business culture in Japan? That's the one warning I get - it's a great place to visit, but very tough to work in. Any truth to that? Maybe if I worked for an American software company.

Thanks for any guidance... I'm just beginning my research.
