I came here with a BS in Comp Sci, no teaching experience worth mentioning, and got offered many jobs at common conversation schools that pay between 1500yen to 3000yen an hour.
A lot of places ask that you have at least 1 years teaching experience in Japan, during that time you can get your little certs that help to get that other job, but your masters is the key to getting into the university.
Some people are lucky and get straight into the university position but it is less common these days as the competition for those jobs is increasing.
The working holiday visa is what I did, then I changed to a working visa for a bit and then I started a business and have an investor visa, that stuff is just superficial, nothing to be concerned about. As long as you're making enough money to live you'll be fine.
Edit; check out gaijin pot and the japan times online, they have job listings to get you an idea of what is there and what they want you to have.
