FWIW, these guys (Gengo) show up on Glassdoor/Tokyo now and then with a role description in English, but based on this blog post they seem to be looking exclusively to pull Japanese engineers out of e.g. "Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic". You'll find good engineers there of course, but you won't find them with a listing on Glassdoor in English. It's good to know what their target is, since I apparently wasted my time applying there about a year ago, and again earlier this year, without even so much as a follow-up "thanks but no thanks" stock email - just total radio silence.
(Anyway, Glassdoor is not very active in Tokyo.)
I wouldn't take what this author is saying to mean "Tokyo is attractive for engineers". It basically is not, at least not compared to the Bay Area, or really any tech-focused metro area in North America or Europe. Especially considering Tokyo's large population (>35 million), it is not a global tech hub by any stretch. Entrepreneurs might be a different story.
