From personal experience (other workplaces may have different policies), I can see why people in Japan would not change jobs very often. A large proportion of your salary can be in the form of performance bonuses, which you technically aren't eligible for when you first start. This means that you can take a huge pay cut for the first 12 months because you might only receive a token bonus.
