Do you know if this is the case in general with most schools there? Do you know of any international schools, like ASIJ? Is it true that the BOE of whatever section you're in provide one with a place to stay or a company car (if one is needed)?

Go to the Japanese department at your university and talk to them. The administrator in that department should have all the information you need. In addition, they can give a letter of recommendation which you may end up needing. Recheck about the JET program and there are others. There may be qualifications such as knowledge and "true" interest in the culture and language proficiency. I was offered a job teaching English for a program that was better than JET and I would have had to enter into a contract for three years but I turned the job down.
