Unless you are sponsored by a Japanese company or by a Japanese national, you will NOT be living in or working in Japan. You will not be allowed to rent an apartment without qualifying for permanent resident status, which given the nature of your question, is not likely. Unless you have a VERY special skill...or are an MA level English teacher, you will NOT be moving to or living in Japan. Japan has some of the most strict immigration laws in the world. Bad gaijin...no ramen for you.

Very hard. And if you don't have a special skill a Japanese doesn't have, chances of finding work are near zero. Most Americans teach English, but in most cases, this won't be long term work. Others have work in the IT / computer fields. Bear in mind if a Japanese can do the work, they will be hired first. The employer has to sponsor the employee for a work visa. They're not going to do this when there's already someone there that can do the work. Finding a apartment can be hard as many Japanese landlords won't rent to a non-Japanese. That kind of thing is still legal there. Many also want two or three months rent in advance. And there's the matter of ' key money '. Key money is more or less of a bribe to be able to rent the place.That can be another month or two of rent money.Money that you will never see again Check out the site below. It will give you an idea of what employers are looking for. But if you don't have a four year degree to start with, all this is moot.

Very hard, as it's also hard for Japanese people to find work on Japan now.
