I mean just what I said.
There are a number of well known cities in Japan. 90% of the people who want to teach English in Japan tries to move to these cities.
However, there are a lot more other cities in Japan, full of people and opportunities... but because no one has heard of them, or they aren`t the "cool" places to go in Japan - almost no one tries to move to or work in most of them.
So basically, if you`ve never heard of it and it`s a decent sized city - you`ll find far more opportunities with less competition there.

But I Love Japan that much, that I would like too see some more from this country and don't spend my entire WHV in a big city like Osaka or Tokyo. It's really not worth it!

Then don`t. No one is going to force you to do so.

It would really pain me to do something like this, to the Japanese people.. but if I have no other choice, what should I do. And I don't want to work somewhere else and do a different job. It's one of my biggest dreams to work as an English teacher in a country like Japan.

If it is your dream to work as an English teacher, then go through the normal routes to become a teacher - not a WHV.

Also like Nyororin mentioned a couple posts back.. they love o hire people with a WHV because it just makes things much easier for everybody. Because of that I am going to assume, that most likely 90% of them if not more only work a short period of time.. cause otherwise it wouldn't be a WHV anymore.

Once you have the WHV in hand, what you do with it is really your own business. It is easier for a school to hire someone who is on the WHV for a year than get a working visa for someone. It`s not the school`s business to plan your holiday.
Most of the people working on the WHV that I have had contact with were working for 9+ months, and doing "tourism" on their days off and after their work term ended.
You are talking about blatantly lying and deceiving a school. No matter what your visa is, if you tell them you are available for a year of work then run off - you have deceived them.
If you only want to work in little bouts here and there... LOOK FOR LITTLE JOBS HERE AND THERE. You will have considerably fewer opportunities when compared to looking for longer positions, and the WHV won`t provide an advantage, but at least be honest.
Nowhere have I even so much as implied that a WHV gives an advantage when looking for very short term positions. I have only said that it is an advantage when you are competing for a LONG TERM position. It won`t give you an advantage for a short term position. That`s life - deal with it. Don`t go lying for your own personal satisfaction. It`s incredibly childish, selfish, and flat out disgusting.
