Should I pursue a career in Quantitative Finance in Japan?

Like the title says I'm really interested in quantitative finance and Japan, but I don't know how I could make both work. I'm currently going into my junior year at the University of Tennessee Knoxville with a double major in finance and mathematics and a strong coding background in R and Python. Currently my Japanese skill level is N3, but I plan to study more especially in my masters. My idea was to graduate and get a masters in either Japan or a prestigious school here in the U.S. that has a quant degree, but I want to know the feasibility of getting a job in this space as a foreigner. I've been to Japan once in the summer on a school trip and loved it, but I realize I doing business in Japan can be hard to get a foothold in. Please let me know about and any suggestions and tips are helpful. Are there any finance careers that are usually more feasible like investment banking or private equity in japan?
