You can find jobs...I worked as a bartender for a couple years while I was JET, but I had a real job and real sponsor for day work.
As was stated, your tourist visa will expire in 90 days. If you overstay it, you become an illegal alien. If you ever want to go back to Portland, it will be your last trip from Japan.
I was able to play music and bartend in Japan only because I had a work visa through the JET Program. The bar I worked at didn't care about my visa status, but also paid me in cash every month. My name was nowhere, and if someone asked, I didn't work there.
