Why Japan in particular? Do you have any familiarity with Japanese culture and more importantly the language itself? it's gonna make it that much more difficult for you to integrate into society if you have no experience with the language. I'm not saying it's insurmountable (I learned Chinese through full immersion by living in Taiwan for years) but it's also a fairly challenging language to learn given it has two phonetic alphabets and a pictographic element as well in the form of Kanji. Definitely a harder language for a Westerner to learn given there's no overlap with Romance languages.
