There are plenty of legit schools that offer courses tailored to fit within a tourist visa time frame - the biggest problem would be finding one that matches the dates you`ll be in Japan.
But for the part-time income, nope. It`s not going to happen. And if you do somehow manage to find somewhere shady that is willing to hire you under the table for a month or two of work (why they would is a mystery)... If you were to get caught, expect to be put on the black list and barred entry from Japan for most of the rest of your life.

Really? I guess that makes sense...I guess you wouldn't be taking classes for college credit, though...just for langauge acquisition.
