Japan requires that "native" teachers live at least 12 years in the country who's language they wish to teach. If you haven't lived in America, England, or Australia for 12 years, then you aren't going to qualify as a teacher of English.

You can, however, become a Spanish teacher. But the demand in Japan for languages other than English is not very strong, and jobs are not as easy to find.
