Should I not mention my desire to stay in Japan long-term?

I’m applying next cycle, so I’m thinking ahead.

I’ve seen a few posts on here saying that the program wants JETs to return home afterwards and prefers you to express that. I’m not sure if that’s even true, but I don’t have an end-date in mind, so I was just curious as to if that’s an actual preference of theirs. Currently my plan is to get a job in Japan after my time there.

I didn’t think this was true considering JET offers advice on getting jobs in Japan afterwards, but I wanted to hear other’s thoughts since I’ve seen the sentiment

Thanks for any advice
