You are not allowed to work in Japan for the first three months you are there on a student visa. Otherwise you can, although I think you have to fill out special paperwork. As a foreigner though, you will struggle with finding employment.

You can only work on a study visa for a certain (not a lot) amount of hours per week and only when you have permission from both the school and the local office that's in charge of immigration. If you do not have the right permission or you work more than you are allowed you run the threat of having your study visa removed, which will cause you to lose both your job as well as the right to remain in Japan any longer.
