Have you ever been to Japan? Do you speak the language? Are you convinced that you want to spend the next few years there? Is Tokyo a preference or a requirement?
Either way, you'll have to get a language school to sponsor you for a work visa if you want to work in Japan. The minimum requirement for that is a university degree but you have to realize that you'll be competing against many other foreigners. Things like teaching experience, living experience in Japan, ability to speak Japanese, etc. will give you an edge on your fellow applicants.
To get a rough idea on the jobs/pay in Japan, head over to gaijinpot.com and check out the Japan Jobs. You'll also have the opportunity to contact the schools to ask them various questions regarding placement, visas, etc.
