How difficult for Japanese Americans to integrate into Japanese society?

Just a brief description of my wife and I. We’re both of Japanese heritage, she’s fluent, I’m not. I’m part of the film industry, and she’s a teacher. We essentially both believe in both American and Japanese values (best of both worlds, you can say), and we both have family in the country.

I like the idea of raising kids in a safe and walkable country that also has strong cultural ties to our heritage, but I am also aware of the social issues that Japan is known for (ie long work hours, sexist work environments, and stressful schooling). I’m wondering if the benefits of living there outweigh the cons.

I want to learn more about the country and travel within it more in-depth than the average tourist, and I feel like the best way to do so is to move there rather than travel there every couple years from the states. And if there’s anybody in the film production world in Japan, any insight on that would be very helpful as well.

Thoughts?
