I don't think there are any. Many Japanese from all over Japan have gone up there to help. What they really need is money. $300 billion of it. Just $10 can help.

You at least have to pay your air fare and accommodation in Japan. And you will find many volunteer openings while you stay in Japan.

Unless you can speak Japanese fluently you are going to be about as useful as tits on a bull. Maybe there are some groups in the U.S., or whatever country you are from, organizing such an effort and you could sign up to be part of it. Other than that, donations to the Red Cross are the easiest way to help out.

You are not going to be hired for anything in Japan if you don't have a skill that they need regardless of how earnest you are in wanting to help. The Japanese affected by the tsunami need more than just someone passing out food and water. Japan is facing a growing financial crisis because the economy was not healthy even before the tsunami struck, and now it is even worse. Hiring any foreigner to work in Japan will have to meet one criteria - you must have a skill or expertise in something that the Japanese do not have AND it contributes to the growth of their economy. The entire infrastructure of the affected region is basically gone and that means no jobs in an already bad economy, no housing in a country already short on housing, no place to build new houses because the land sunk 14 inches and is now a flood plain which only makes any future typhoon or tsunami incursions a very a serious danger. Then there is the area around Fukushima which is a radiation hazard and will be that way until the reactors are dismantle if that is even possible. If you are serious about working in Japan, then get not just an education but a great education in a field that they need. Remember, Japan is a modern 21st century nation not some backwards 3rd world country. You are going to have to aim high.

Not job per se, but volunteer work. If you are in college, or not, you could propose to local businesses or scholarship foundations to fund your trip to Japan, providing you are really doing useful work there on a volunteer basis. America has foundations like habitat for humanity, the Peace Corps, and many others. And now there are some groups dedicated to rebuilding Japan. Check them out. You won't necessarily get a paycheck, but volunteer work pays off in a lot of ways.

The best way you can help support the relief effort is by making a donation to the Red Cross Japan Disaster Appeal via their website at https://www.redcross.org.au/Donations/onlineDonations.asp

You are not going to be 'paid' for working in the disaster zone. You have not listed any skills whatsoever that is useful in disaster relief nor how can you contribute to the reconstruction efforts. You obviously have no idea what volunteer work is all about, since there are many organizations like the Red Cross that have raised assistance for Japan. Please do a search on Y!A before asking retarded questions again and again.
