That is why jobs for foreigners in Japan are more or less limited to those where being foreign is an advantage- English teaching, translating, or jobs in finance and IT for those with work experience elsewhere and fairly good Japanese skills.
Basically if a Japanese person can do the job, a company is unlikely to go to the trouble of preparing all the visa paperwork needed to hire a foreigner.
Starting a business in a country you haven't spent much time in and where you don't speak the language fluently? Doesn't sound like a good idea really.
To get the visa to run a business here one of the requirements is to hire two Japanese nationals as full time staff, so it isn't something you can do unless you have quite a bit of capital to start with.
