I am sure you are well taken care of, and your package will no doubt be one that most of us can only dream about. Please be sure to have your company pay all your social insurance/health premiums as separate from your pay...... Your rent pretty well outstrips a typical families yearly earnings outside of Greater Tokyo

Above is a place my friend moved into in Fukuoka about 140,000 including parking for one vehicle.........I am sure you can find similar(but more expensive) in Tokyo! Good luck, you will no doubt have the time of your life for 1-2 years!
