Would you be looking to license the business in your home country and
simply do the work remotely? What would you do about your visa?
I personally suggest looking into Japan. Osaka, for example, has some
programs for businesses looking to come from abroad and set up there.
But if you don't need a license, go have a chat with the embassy and see
if anything can be done about getting a non-tourist visa. It's difficult
to do without an employer in Japan, but possible.
Reasons for Japan: you can be in a nice, rural place that isn't god
awful expensive but is also close enough to a city (Osaka, Kyoto,
Nagoya, Okayama, and any number of places outside Tokyo) to go there for
the odd weekend excursion or to pick up some of your favorite items from
back home. Only the most rural areas won't have broadband access. Lots
of obstacles, but if you can overcome them then I suggest looking into it.
