Should i go and teach in Japan?

Question:

Today i was offered a teaching position in Japan from my professor. It would be in a small rural area of Japan. Since i am graduating this year, i feel that a job straight out of school is a great thing. I always wanted to go to Japan as well as teach. However there are a few considerations in the back of my mind: will it be safe to go there after the tsunamis and the radiation leaks?
I know that the media over hypes a situation for sensationalism but some of it is true.

Essentially, what are your thoughts, should i forego this opportunity in Japan or take it?

Also please elaborate on your answer

Thanks

Answer:

To work in Japan you need a work visa.Does this professor have the power to hire and sponsor your work visa ? If he's in the US, that is highly unlikely.
What's also very important are wages and where you will be living. Also realize in small rural areas fewer people speak any English. Can you handle that ?
Most of Japan is ok. The bad areas are in the north east where the nuke plants are located and Sendai.
