The main issue for foreigners is that the pay is low. The culture can be bad (especially around tech) but it's not that bad.

If you're really good, as I'd hope the people on here are, you can get into a foreign company and get paid… more than the average native.

They pay is low, but the cost of living is also surprisingly low. It doesn’t take much to get by, so long as you’re not living in the most desirable areas in Tokyo.

Sure, but unless you're going to stay forever you have more reason to care about costs wherever you came from. Might want to buy a house back there, or pay off student loans.
