If someone from one of the eligible countries does the working holiday visa are they able to go back to Japan in the future and work?

Certainly! The working holiday visa does not come combined with a future ban on entering Japan!
However, I think that in case of most (all?) participating countries, it is possible to get a working holiday visa only once. You would have to go with a regular visa permitting work.

Yes they are- I am living proof! I originally came to Japan on a WHV, was out of Japan about 2 years, and then came back on a working visa. In the meantime I had graduated from university, so was now eligible for a full work visa. 8 years later, I am still here...

Thanks for replying Uji and Sira. You cleared up a question I was having trouble finding the answer too. I would love to take advantage of the WHV one day. Hopefully in the future I will be able to.
On a side note do you know why the USA isn't one of the participating countries in the WHV?

Because it is a reciprocal agreement between the countries involved. The US doesn't offer WHVs, so other countries don't offer them to US citizens.

USA / Australia

Actually, Australia and the USA have just recently reached a WHV agreement. The program only started a few months ago. Perhaps this signals a willingness for the USA to reach WHV agreements with other countries. Or, on the opposite side, this just shows the determination of Australia to make WHV's for its citizens.
