Market salaries in Tokyo startups for developers cluster in the $30k to $50k range. Market salaries for developers generally in Tokyo go up to ~$70k (assuming one is in twenties or thirties). There exists a separate scale in finance and foreign-owned corporations -- AppAmaGooBookSoft typically (but not always) pay at discounts to their US operations but not typically 70% discounts.
You'll find wide variability with regards to working hours in startups, with most of the range covering "high-growth US startup" or "Japanese professional employment" levels of expectations rather than "unionized public sector worker in US or Europe" level of expectations. You will find similar variance in flexibility.
