What’s it like to play football in Japan? Check out the Inside Sport Japan survey

Japan’s X League is arguably the top club team league in the world outside of the United States and Canada.
And yet, to the outsider, until recently, it has been shrouded in a cloak of mystery.
Lately, with four import players allowed on teams and more and more teams beginning to sign imports, mostly from the United States, that cloak has begun to slide.
Still, there are plenty of questions, so Inside Sport: Japan has gone to the players themselves for the answers. And almost all of them (92%) have answered.
What do you make playing in Japan? What does the team pay for? Would you recommend playing in Japan? The import players answer these questions and plenty more.
