Well, to teach English, you do need a college degree. The easiest way to enter Japan is to marry a Japanese citizen. Depending on what your work experience is, you may be able to find a company to work for.

Some of English schools doesn't require you to have a degree (and they rarely ask you to provide with an actual certificate anyway, if you know what I mean). It sounds great to live in Japan, but the truth is, it is a real hard job! Just remember, the rent in the major cities are as high as in the middle of Manhattan, and those in NYC looks like palaces compared to the dingy, old rabbit hatches in Tokyo. All the other cost of living will also make you unable to do things you are hoping to do, unless you earn more than the average Japanese citizens, which is very unlikely unfortunately as you don't have any special skills or higher education at this point. I've seen so many hopefuls that turned around and went back home. I suggest may be you should go there just to travel and get the feel of it first. Then you may find that it was just a trick of light. Otherwise, there are tons of guys wanting to get married to...

No, even if the job doesn't require a degree, the goverment will. You could always be a hostess ( which you can't get a visa for) why don't you just come visit, Japan is very expensive and without a job your pretty much screwed.

No degree? No problem. You can come over on a student visa. Most universities are always looking for foreign students. Try writing a Japanese university and ask for their application requirements.
