Be it ever so messed up, there is no place like home.
No, really. For all its flaws, Japanese women tend to get VERY homesick. There's been a lot of cases in the past where a Japanese woman married to an American Serviceman will just suddenly up and leave for Japan, never to come back... and take the kids with her, too. And given the Japanese legal system, they'll flat out refuse to recognize the father's parental rights simply because he's not a Japanese citizen.
Needless to say, this has been causing some friction in diplomatic relations, and it's only been recently that the Japanese have been starting to cave in on this.
Japan, even after all this time, is still very isolationist and xenophobic, sexist and misogynistic, and still has an utterly bizarre reversal of ageism combined with elements of an oligarchy. And despite all that, it is exceedingly rare for a Japanese woman to want to live permanently from her home. My advice, (and this can be what Ben says IC as well): Look into work that will allow you to divide your time up between Canada and Japan. Your ladies will deeply appreciate your effort enough that they won't mind splitting their time between home for them and Canada.
Ben will be doing this himself.
(This is the main reason why Benjamin has been striving hard to make his complex into a little slice of Japan in America. And the funny thing is they're STILL gonna get homesick.)
