In japan, yes.
I currently fly for a Japanese airline as a contract employee and I am happier than anywhere else I've been. I did the 8 month long training experience for a type rating I already had, but thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
I like the Japanese culture, enjoy my trips to Narita and have spent lots of time in Tokyo. Wouldn't trade any of it.
PM me if you'd like.
