No, not really. Even if is not easy to work in the US because of all the 
restrictions and procedures, in Japan, you have not only that, but 
education requirements, language capacity which japanese regard very 
often as even more important as skills, plus you have all the fees 
incurrend in settling in Japan which tends to be a lot of money. From 
scratch, considering a $750 monthly rent in Tokyo (80,000 JPY), you are 
looking at a $7,500 figure for coming and getting installed, assuming 
you have a job beforehand.
