There is no rule against a foreigner working full time if he has a regular work visa. Most foreign teachers in Japan are classified as "part-time", as this way the company/school doesn't have supply full-time work benefits.

There are schools in Japan which have foreign principles, but these are private/international schools. It's highly unlikely that a foreigner would be able to get a job as a principle in a public school, though it is entirely possible for a foreigner to become a full time teacher at a public school.
