But my company isn’t in Japan, so coordinating teams meetings would be awful.
The ideal here is that my company is so far removed in timezones that no one can bother meeting with me, and I get a ton of work and tourism done.

Goddamn, they couldn’t have introduced this before I became disabled?
I wonder how hard it would be to get a place to live for only 6-months. Is a 6month lease a common thing in Japan?
