You can scan the Japantimes want ads. I'll dig around for a couple of
Japan job-hunting websites, too. Basically, if you let them know you'll
be in Japan at a certain time, they're more likely to be interested
in interviewing you, and since you're married to a J-National, they
wouldn't have to apply for a visa for you.

Actually, Tokyo's one of the few large metropoli I could live in. Especially
if you live somewhere like Inogashira/Kichijoji, though if someone wanted
to put me up in gaijin housing in Hibiya, I could be talked into it.
