I don't know about the availability or anything. But doesn't the visa become a problem? As I hear you can't really job-hunt on a tourist visa, and it seems this is the kind of job you would get "on the spot" and not something you would apply for from your home country.

And as he wouldn't then have employment before going to Japan, he also has no company that could/would sponsor the visa..?

Then again, doesn't Australia have the working-holiday thing for Japan?
