Just go is pretty much the only way about it. The thing is A. Your visa status is likely to be irregular B. Construction firms do not have the resources to recruit overseas-Therefore it has to be on your own initiative. The usual practice in the industry is to work while on a visitors visa, and then make a visa run every 90 days. I would suggest thinking about framing or building forms, there are just not enough young carpenters in Japan.Obviously don't bring your work clothes/tools with you when entering as a visitor-send for them later. The informal sector though, is going to have to supply a lot of tradesmen going forward so it is likely the immigration formalities will not be enforced to the letter when it comes to construction trades. The reality is that there is whole generation of young men in Japan who preferred being a ronin, freeter, video game junkie or whatever to learning a trade. I would suggest finding a job through the contractors that specialize in 2X4 homes. That industry has its own journals and mooks that you can find in any bookstore in Japan.
