You must have the job sorted out before you leave for Japan, that's the only way you'll get into the country.

You could come in as a tourist and look for a job, but companies cannot legally hire you. Also no real estate agent will rent an apartment to someone on a tourist visa.

Most companies or schools that hire foreigners to teach English have housing arrangements made for them, as it can be a tedious and expensive process, especially if you are not fluent in Japanese.

I would worry about getting a visa-sponsor/employer and then talk with them about housing.
