This has been covered time and time again... but here we go.

Obviously depends upon the apartment. Deposit, key money, etc is all calculated based on the original rental fee. There are a huge range of prices...

Which visas would be needed and how would I obtain them?

This also depends upon what you plan to be doing in Japan. Working - a work visa. Studying - a student visa. etc If you`re from Canada, I say go for the working holiday... An option that you should be able to take.

Is it possible to get a job when you are still in Canada. If so, how would that work?
|
For a work visa, you
need to do that. However, in order to get a job in Japan, you`ll need to have a degree... So at 18, a work visa is pretty much impossible.
How much money would you pay for rent if the place you would like to rent has one bedroom and one bathroom? (A standard apartment for the residence of one.)

I have belongings (Bed, computer, television, etc.) which I would like to take with me. How would I be able to get them there.

Unless you have literally craploads of cash lying around - you don`t. And even then, most of it would be pointless. Electricity standards are different here - some things you can use, some you can`t. Television frequencies/formats are different. Basically, buy whatever you need while here.

As you can tell, I am still very confused. Any information would be extremely helpful.

Planning ahead is fine - but instead of the type of planning you`re trying to do, you need to look more at the basics. You can`t just up and move to another country on a whim. Renting an apartment and moving isn`t something you can just do when international boundaries are involved. You need to think more into what you`re going to DO in Japan, and then the details of actual living there later.
