That's a great idea and English tutors are in high demand in Japan, but you will need a diploma to qualify as a full-time English teacher. I'm just starting to learn Japanese myself because I want to take a long vacation there next year; if only I wasn't too old for the JET program I could get there on a budget. I envy you! To become qualified you will have to study Japanese for about 4 years, but the JET program is designed for teens so I think it's your best opportunity. Get in touch with them and you'll soon be on your way to experiencing life in Japan; you won't get another chance like it so go ahead. :-) If you want to live in Japan, learning Japanese is definitely the way to go; Japan is the most expensive place to live in the world and they don't grant residence easily,but as an English teacher you would have a valuable skill and earn a good living. Four years sounds like a long time when you're a kid but I really think you should go for it.

It would be much more productive and useful if you asked this this question on http://www.eslcafe.com/ - one of the largest and most comprehensive overseas teaching sites. It has a job forum, teachers' forums, lessons....the other very useful website is http://www.transitionsabroad.com/ PS - on the eslcafe website, you will have direct contact with hundreds of teachers already there and they can give you current and useful information. Good Luck
