lots of foreigners work in japan, anon. a common route for southeast asians, for example, consists of enrolling in a language/trade boarding school for a year or two and getting referred to their respective trade. for many it's food packaging factories or hotels. if this anon isn't larping he simply skipped the school stage by getting a marriage visa and got a job at a hotel, restaurant, international school, manual labor, etc. if you have funds you can start a small business with your spouse, but she'll be the one handling all the paperwork and finances so you're basically at her mercy.
