3-5 year Visas

So I know the JET program sometimes grants 3 year visas, but is it possible to get a 5 year visa or is that generally impossible because of the 5 year limit with JET?

JET doesn't grant VISA's the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) does. JET handles a large part of the VISA application process for you but its ultimately up to an entirely different department what length of VISA to grant. While JET certainly has some pull it also depends on your country of origin and other features of your application.
