Is it true that you can't get a work visa to Japan if you're over 40?

Question:

I hear that if you are working in Japan and hit 40, they boot you out? Or if you are 40, you can't get in. I'm also going off what that fat, old, creepy guy on youtube said. They just kicked him out after years of service, cus he hot 40.

Is this true?

Answer:

JET won't hire anyone over 40, but other companies can & do. I know people over 50 who are working in Japan.
You tube is like Fox news, you can't believe everything you see. On youtube I just saw a video of a guy who out ran a cheetah ! Can you believe that ?
To get a work visa you need to have a BA / BS degree and a job offer before you get there. That's it. There's a lot of people over 40 working there.
