If you don't mind me asking, what is your and/or your wife's ethnicity? Japan (and East Asia in general) are not exactly the most...accepting places to outsiders. That's not to say you'll be treated rudely or with hostility. People are in general, quite nice and polite. But you'll always be "that outsider/foreigner". In one respect, this is advantageous as it could shield you from some of the worst aspects of the corporate culture by way of the "oh, it's because he's the foreigner" excuse. But by the same token, you'll also always be "the foreigner".
