Sorry I missed this. Other people can probably answer this question better than I, but I know foreigners can own businesses in Japan, so I would imagine there is a visa for that. It wouldn't be in Japan's interest to deport successful business owners.

So maybe that is another option for people who want to move there, and that is to start a business. But I am guessing that you will need to have some kind of proposal or something that shows a strong prospect before they will grant you a visa. Let me look more into this.. i will post any info i find (On a different thread)
