You'll need a work visa to work in Japan. Your employer will have to sponsor you and basically justify to the gov't why they should hire you as opposed to someone off the street.

In other words, while Japanese fluency is an asset, you'll need a lot more since all Japanese citizens are fluent in Japanese.
