Uwa, I really want to teach in Japan too! I don't know that much about it, but, I've read that in Japan they really want native English speakers to teach English in schools. I also read you can arrange your trip through an organization and they sometimes help you find a home or have a host family for you to stay with until you can afford to buy your own house. I don't know how to contact any of those organizations yet though... I need to find out.

The best way to go about it is through the Jet program. First you are going to need a 4 year degree. It does not have to be in English. Also you don't need to speak Japanese at all to teach English.
