If you don't speak fluent Japanese already, I would say you will probably struggle quite a lot to find work...

Best bet might be to apply for a job at a language school (from newspaper reports, sounds like Nova need teachers lol) - they will help get you a 12month working visa (or advise how to get one if not). Japan are pretty strict when it comes to immigration and you will probably be deported and banned quite swiftly if you overstay your visa

EDIT: just realised you said you don't have a degree. That might spell the end of any working visa opportunities then
