What is the average salary for IT engineer in Japan?

Question:

What is the average salary for IT engineer in Japan?
I'm a Solution Integrator, in the IT / Telecommunication line with 6 years of experience.
What is the average pay for a foreigner in this position in Japan? And what is the average for the local?

Being a female in this field is rare, and even rarer in Japan.
So, I'm also concerned about gender discrimination there. Is it as bad as what people said where you don't get promoted to higher management level if you are a female even if you're capable?

Answer:

There are many kinds of engineers. It depends on which one. But generally, it's 4-5M yen as another says.

Putting being a female aside, it's difficult to get promotion if you get pregnant and leave work for a few years to care your children. Or it's even difficult to stay in the job.
