Looking for tefl jobs while staying in Tokyo

Im looking for my first English teaching job in Japan. Ive got a masters degree and a tefl certificate.

I was thinking of just flying to Tokyo immediately and looking for work when i get there. I have the resources to stay 1-2 months like this. Im not specifically looking for a position in Tokyo.

I thought this would maybe make it easier to get a job and i could interview in person.

Any opinions on my idea or anyone done similar?

Thanks very much

My friend work in Tokyo as TESOL,means Teaching English to speakers of other Languages with work visa.you can consider it.

TEFL is Teaching English as a Foreign Language, so a certificate in that is equivalent to TESOL certificate.

As mentioned above, currently changing in-country from Temporary Visitor status to employer-sponsored work permitting resident status is strongly discouraged, at times the applications are not accepted, and you are asked to go the �gCoE (certificate of eligibility) to visa�h path.

Immigration is starting to become more strict about tourist to work visa cases. See https://blog.gaijinpot.com/japanese-immigration-has-begun-enforcing-st... . Recommend that you try to sort out your job (and visa) before landing
