fast track guide to moving to japan

I am 24, I don't yet speak Japanese and I desperately want to go to Japan on a 1 year working visa.

The truth is I know no one there, or even where to start planning my trip.

I don't know how I would find work, or where I might find a japanese tutor.

I am hoping I can get some advice with this post.

Thanks in advance.

Desperately? Why desperately?
Is it a matter of life or death or just an obsession?

A working holiday would be perfect for you.

Also, to start with, try doing an internet search for "jobs in Japan", and "living in Japan"- lots of job sites and information on moving to Japan will come up- this is a well-worn path, lots of people have done it before you, so there is loads of information out there- including in this site, if you take the time to look around.
