Teaching English is one of the easiest ways to get a job in Japan. I know three people (2 friends and a sister) who taught in Japan directly out of college. They like to recruit college graduates. You may teach to private schools for kids or you may teach employees of companies. Your college should be able to point you to a reliable website.

Well, getting a four year degree means you will be ready to rock and roll when you are about 22. You could be investigating schools in the interim. Have to find a job before you get a visa. You could come for a 90 day visit and spend all the time going to job interviews. Regardless of what anybody tells you, you can change over to a work visa from a tourist visa. I know this for sure because I have been involved in giving such people work visas. You'll need to save up some money also. You can live in a gaijin house where you have your own room and share a toilet and bath. They run in the ballpark of 50,000 yen/month. Someone else may be able to give you a more accurate figure. If you want your own apartment, (which I would), you're looking at around 250,000 yen to move in, first months rent, key money (bye-bye) and deposit (maybe you can get it back). These figures would be based on an apartment costing 80,000 yen/month. Maybe the gaijin house when you first come and the apartment once you find a job would be the best plan.

Depends on IF you can get a job. Once you get a 4 year degree, you can qualify for a job, but most English teaching jobs these days are going to insiders or those who have spouse visas or permanent residency or are willing to work for next to nothing. It is not like it was 10 years ago anymore. If you are American, you have to land the job before you get your visa. If you are from Canada, UK, New Zealand or Australia you can get a working holiday visa.

First you need to go to school so you can speak, and write English properly(Let's, guy's, aN, Has). How long it takes for the teen to master English is up to him. Next, he needs to obtain a minimum 4-year degree in any discipline. Then, get a WorkVisa from the Japanese government. For this, he only needs the degree, a job offer from an employer who will sponsor him, proof of sufficient finances for at least 6 months(he must show the Embassy officials a copy of his bank account). He must look for such employer from OUTSIDE Japan: it is illegal to search for a job while having 'Temporary Visitor' Visa status. Finally, he only has to find accommodation for the length of time he will be in Japan. All he has to do is to find an owner who will rent to a foreigner, and pay the rent, damage deposit(1 ~ 2 months' worth of rent, 1 ~ 3 months' worth of rent for NON-refundable key money. All in all, it should take: finish highschool: 1 year complete college: 2 ~ 3 years university degree: 4 years finding a job that a native Japanese cannot do: 2 years(Japan has a very high unemployment rate, and a giant surplus of English teachers after the collapse of several English schools). finding residential accommodation for a year: 1/2 year.

Do 4 years of college then apply for the JET program. If you get in there you should be able to make the connections for a real teaching job.

Will having a tattoo prevent me from moving to Japan to live and work due to immigration rules
Will having a tattoo prevent me from moving to Japan to live and work due to immigration rules?
I've been told that having a tattoo of any kind will prevent me from emigrating to Japan. The person who told me this could not tell me why, and the only reason I can think of is that tattoos are associated with gangsters (Yakuza) in Japan. I have no tattoos or piercings at all at the moment, and my life's dream is to live and work in Japan, so if the answer is "no tattoos" then living there takes priority.

The honest answer is, "It might". Tats are considered the mark of an undesirable person in Japan, if you have one or more you're not allowed to use public bath houses, yadda yadda. If you must go to Japan, get there first and become a citizen, THEN see about getting tatted up.
