You can be a doctor or pediatrician in Japan. You need a Japanese doctor's license, which you can only get by passing the Japanese doctor's exam. The exam is only in Japanese, so you will need professional level Japanese skills. A pharmacist needs an invitation from a Japanese medical institution or pharmacy to work in Japan. The first work visa you get is usually a 1-year visa. Near the end of the first year, you can extend your visa to 3 years. After that, you can extend your visa every 3 years. After 10 years, you can switch to a permanent residency visa if you so desire.

If you want to have medical jobs in Japan, you need to take its exam and pass it. But the test is all in Japanese. And you are not even allowed to take exams if you did not graduate from a professional school for those jobs. It requires you to have Japanese language skill at more than average Japanese level.

if you can get a job there then you can stay for as long as they'd let you (they being the government who control all things visa/work permit related); goodluck finding a job in japan though, they don't seem very welcoming of outsiders over there. if you speak fluent japanese too then your odds of getting a job are higher however, keep in mind japanese citizens WILL get preference when it comes to jobs but goodluck to you anyway :)

No.

Without fluent Japanese skill, your dream won't come true easily. There are too many walls you have to climb over to graduate school and pass all necessary national exams to receive the qualification to work legally. It takes a lot of time and huge cost. Stay ONE year? You must be joking.

To be either of those, you need a very good command not only on basic Japanese, but medical Japanese terms. For instance, if you are a pharmacist, what if a doctor writes a prescription to a patient for Ensan punidoefedorin. Do you know what that is? It's pseudoephedrine, a common prescription for congestion (which a common cold can bring on an ear infection). There are 1,945 kanji that are learned in school by children, but of course you learn more kanji on your own. So, literally thousands of kanji are in use, so you must have a good command on those. Also of medical terms for body parts and such.
