I emailed many recruiters over the years and all said they didn't hire
outside of Japan. I'm also trying to stay in the Healthcare industry
if I stay in the corporate world; some companies have a presence in JP
but not many, and certainly not mine.

I don't know if I could live in Tokyo anyway. I've known a couple of
good, solid people who loved their time in Japan (time spent in the
inaka somewhere close to Osaka) who got expat jobs in Tokyo and it
drove them crazy. The plan is to get published one of the books I'm
working on and make a go at that life.
