Teaching Conversational English Requirements
 

Will an Associates Degree from a community college be enough of requirement to teach conversational English in Japan in terms of certification from a college?

Will an Associates degree help land you any kind of English teaching job in Japan?

If anyone could be so kind to fill me in or direct to a resource to answer my questions, I would greatly appreciate it, and thank you for taking the time to read my thread.

No, you need a 4-year-degree to be hired by almost any school.

For Americans, it's a 4-year degree. For people in other English-speaking countries a Bachelor's degree can be finished in 3 years, so that suffices. The "4-year degree" thing tends to be emphasised so much on the internet that people from countries with 3-year BAs often worry that their degree with not suffice, when it will (I am living proof).

However it does need to be a full Bachelor's degree, not an Associate's degree, so Manji2012, I'm afraid you don't qualify for a working visa.
