You are better off coming for a short term to see if you like it here. Generally speaking, it is hard for foreigners to get non-professional employment in Japan. In nearly all cases a university degree is required to get a long-term work visa.
Being a stone mason is not considered a profession in Japan. Also, you will need a fair amount of Japanese language to do construction work. Another interesting thing is that the measurement system used in Japanese construction is a different standard, which takes time to understand.
I have seen foreigners doing construction at different places, but they were all married to Japanese wives, which is an option many people take.
