Attending a language school also doesn't require that you have a college degree. It is important to realize that you will be in class 5 days a week, but it will certainly help your Japanese.
As far as getting a job, a college degree is a must. Also, if you would like to do something other than teach English then you will want to gain skills in Japanese.
Good Luck!

Disagree with all of this.
The easiest way to go to Japan short-term would be save up about $2000-$3000, buy a round trip ticket to Japan, and stay in a Sakura/Gaijin/Guest house for 3 months. (or the length of your visa)
About getting a job, you don't need a degree. Do you need a degree to flip burgers? No, do you need a degree to teach English? Yes. It all depends on what kind of Job you wish to have.
