Save your money, come over on a 6 month WHV (working holiday visa), get a part time job to pay expenses, and take free Japanese courses at your nearest community center. The lessons aren't fantastic, but you'll make up for them by getting to practice by communicating with Japanese people. If you get a temporary job teaching English (not difficult with a WHV), you can probably negotiate a little language exchange practice after class.
