Working in Japan as a non-native English

Hi! I'm from Hungary and I plan to move to Japan in a year or so and I was wondering if it's possible for me to get relatively easily a job. I've been studying English for about 10 years and Japanese for about 2 years now. I've finised high school in Hungary and started to study at a University as an IT Engineer but I' didn't finished it.
I'm pretty sure my English skills are good enought to teach others.
Is it possible for me to get a job with these qualifications?
Thanks in forward.

If your mother tongue is not English, then having"studied English" for 10 years is not enough to teach English in Japan. You need to have studied "in" English for that many years (meaning all subjects taught in English). In addition, you'd need to have a bachelor's degree to qualify for an employer-sponsored visa.

youngalistai;
So, what's your point?
The UK and Japan are in completely different situations - the UK is a member of the EU, and as such cannot limit EU citizens movements, and Japan isn't.

mobehun,
Unfortunately there is no visa category for simple labor types of work. You need to be qualified to do jobs for which it is difficult to find human resources locally.
