You will need a working visa there, which is not so easy to come by. You will have to have a sponsor, usually the hiring company. Also, if you don't know Japanese, it is unlikely a Japanese company will hire you to move you there. More likely you will have to find a company in the country in which you live that will hire you and sponsor you to go to Japan. But to be honest, the skills you have are not necessarily something that would be directly needed in Japan. They have software engineers there, of course. You should try and find a different angle. You should also know that it is a very expensive country. Your money goes a lot less farther there than other places, even the expensive US.
