Most people tend to obtain the ability to live in Japan through jobs. The employer sponsors said person's Work Visa, which allows him or her to stay in the country.

Also how do you find a place to stay? As in buying a house or an apartment.
Is finding a job in japan really hard?

I don't have much knowledge of this, but seems that foreigners do have a tough time getting places to stay, unless your employer actually helps you with this. As for work, seems the
easiest route is a job as an English Language Teacher.

Is it much easier to stay with a friend at first(in Japan) then once you get enough money you can move out? (live somewhere else in the neighborhood, city, etc)
|
Only if you have a Visa.

omg, what about health insurance? o_o

From what I know, anyone who is working in the country, is entitled to affordable health insurance benefits...unlike in the US.
