That's unfortunate. Well, in that case, I would suggest you go to Japan (I know it contradicts what I said earlier, but there is no need to start an argument with your wife). Since you would be getting your visa from your wife, you could spend a good amount of time looking for a job in international law or the like.

There are jobs like that in Japan, and with enough contacts and searching, I am sure you can find something. You will probably want to try and find a job before you go, so you don't settle in Tokyo, only to get a job in Osaka.

Speaking on the subject of cities, if you do find a job in international law, it will probably be in Tokyo, as opposed to English teaching, which is everywhere, so if you don't like big cities, that is something to think about.

This last idea is kind of crazy, but since your wife wants to move to her home country, and you want to stay in your country (I am assuming), you could both compromise and move to a "neutral" country, like Taiwan or America, for a year or so.
