-your goal of moving to to Tokyo is BOLDDDD. Hell, I'm sure those who are married here would have to convince their wife to changing jobs / career.. let alone moving to a city far away; either your gf is the best gf ever and you'll marry her or she'll resent you for life ahahahah sorry.

Yeah I must say I'm quite lucky to have her.
Even now, after we've kinda sorta dropped the idea to move to Tokyo in the near future (permanently) unless an amazing job opportunity were to arise or whatever other miracle occurs, we're still very much planning on grabbing working holiday visas before we both turn 30, and live in Tokyo for at least 3 months (WHV is good for 6 months with the option to extend another 6 months). I think what makes us as a couple great, is how we're both comfortable stepping outside of our comfort zones to challenge ourselves to mix things up a bit every now and then.
The reasons she was against moving to Tokyo and why it took so much convincing to get her to even remotely consider it, is because she understands the Asian work culture, and she says she specifically left HK and moved to Vancouver in high school to escape that work-to-death culture. Getting her to go to a country where people literally kill themselves because of the work culture after she finally left that kind of environment, is challenging for significantly different reasons than me.
