Question:

(i meet him through him studying in the uk) but he finishes studying and going back to japan after we have our wedding sorted, we wont to live together but we don't no which one is harder to get in to , i live in the uk and he lives in japan both of us don't really mind where we live (as long as we live together XD ) but i know for both countries its very difficult. but will that change because where married?
Answer:
Maze May, Hello, I live in the UK and am married to a Japanese national.
I can't begin to tell you the difficulties and frustrations you and your future husband are about to encounter with the UK home office and border agencies. Expect a long hard slog. It's not going to be easy.
Forget the media hype of how easy it is for foreigners to settle in the UK.once married. You are about to find out that it takes years, and years. and just when you think it's safe to travel on holiday, you will find that on your return to the UK, the inadequate border agency will try to find discrepancies in your documentation in spite of all your pleadings that everything is in order.
You may think I'm going over the top here, but believe me I could go on and on with details of this or details of that but there isn't the space here. It truly is a nightmare.
It took five years just for my wife to get her permanent residence.
Please go to the Home office web page, study the British immigration laws, make certain you read and understand every scrap of information and be honest in your answer to any questions as this might just be the excuse they need to deny your husband entrance for the purpose of marriage.
I have no idea if the above applies to Japan.
I'm sorry I seam so down beat.
Good luck.
Addition; Not sure if the rules have changed but I had to inform the Home office of our engagement. ( Intention to marry ) You wouldn't think that much of a problem would you, Think again.
@area52; Go back to sleep.
