I don't see where it's written that you need a 4 year degree, can someone show me ?

(-___-;;; )
It's not that a four-year degree is legally required, it's the fact that all the job positions required to obtain a working visa are jobs that would normally require a four-year degree. The only exception to this is the entertainment visa, however, those aren't exactly easy to get either.

See the following site for more information: Embassy of Japan

Bottom line is that it is possible to get a working visa and work in Japan without a four-year degree, however, the chances of finding such a job are very low, and you'd also likely be underpaid and so on...

My suggestion would be to go for the four-year degree, especially at an institution that offers Japanese classes. If your 2-year degree came from an accredited institution, it may not take the full four years to get a bachelor's.
