Well you could either find an employer there to sponsor a work visa. Go to school and be sponsored on a student visa. Get married to a Japanese national and be there on a spousal visa. Go there on a tourist visa but that only lets you stay for 90 days.

You can't just up and move there. You have to give them a reason for wanting you. After 10 years of being there on a visa (5 if you're married to a Japanese national) then you could apply as a permanent resident.

Check out the United States Embassy in Japan's website.

ETA: How old are you? Do you have some sort of degree?
