Just how stressful is working in Japan? Karoshi? 13 Years, 1 Month ago

Recently, I've been considering the idea of moving to Japan when I graduate college. My original plan was that both my wife and I move there, I work as an English teacher, and we eventually start a family in Japan.
But, after some extensive research on life in Japan, the work life there is starting to seem almost *scary*. I asked Yahoo! Answers and got some very negative answers about working in Japan. I heard people work 12-15 hour days with few breaks at all..
This doesn't seem like really LIVING life, does it? I mean, I want to have a good family life. Could I do that in Japan? Would the work be as harsh for a foreign English teacher? I live in the US, so I know I have things easier than others...
But this just seems like a not-so-good way to live..
How can people really be happy working like that?
I've also heard about karoshi, how bad is that there?
Thanks in advance for any answers!
