You don`t need a student visa to attend a language school, but you`ll need one if you plan to stay any longer than 3 months. Schooling does not require a visa. In fact, most short-term Japanese courses don`t even offer visas. So, yes, you CAN attend school with no problems. I have
never heard of a visa being required for short-term classes. There are plenty of legit schools that offer courses tailored to fit within a tourist visa time frame - the biggest problem would be finding one that matches the dates you`ll be in Japan.
But for the part-time income, nope. It`s not going to happen. And if you do somehow manage to find somewhere shady that is willing to hire you under the table for a month or two of work (why they would is a mystery)... If you were to get caught, expect to be put on the black list and barred entry from Japan for most of the rest of your life.
