I don't think it's necessary to come here with any Japanese experience, as I believe you can pick it up 100x faster, and more naturally, if you learn here, in Japan.
Come to Japan with no Japanese? I was in Korea and I don't know a single hint of Hangul and I suffocated because I could not read a single damn thing, nor communicate with anybody (and nobody spoke English... well a lot of people spoke Japanese but whatever, you get the point). I can't imagine Japan being anything but living hell if you come here, wanting to live but have no language skills.

And to the Japanese, a person who doesn't speak Japanese is as annoying as those Mexicans that cross the US border everyday that doesn't speak a hint of English. If you can't communicate, you are finished.
