You aren't going to have an easy time of things. There are a few basic requirements you need to get a work visa (generally speaking, a 4 year or better degree, or 3 or more years experience in a "profession" (teaching, IT, finance). You can come to Japan easily enough with a tourist visa, but finding an employer without the above mentioned qualifications will be very difficult, to say the least.

Getting a spouse visa in Japan may not seem hard on the surface, but in order to get one, your wife will have to prove that she has sufficient income to support the two of you. If she doesn't make enough money, you might find yourself in the uncomfortable position of having to ask her family to sponsor you.

Once you have a spouse visa though, you will have many more options/opportunities for employment.
