The JET Programme will hire native speakers of German, Russian, French, Spanish and so on. They hire mostly English teachers, but they do look for other languages too. However you will need to have a four year degree from a university to work for the JET programme. Go to jetsetjapan.com and browse through the site. You can find the sites for the JET programme and ministry of education. I will get back to on the school situation, but I would say unless they are the rebel kids they are not hanging out on the rooftops.
