May be because of your age. If you provide me with the country of which you are a citizen, I will do my best to investigate the requirements for obtaining a work visa.
I am a big advocate of education. I always recommend for those intent on living in Japan long term, to stay in their home country and get a good education there before coming here. It is the only way you will secure yourself a decent job and the necessary visa.
In general, you know Japan has a problem with not enough young persons to replace the number set to retire in the coming years, but the thing is they are not prepared to do the immigration reform to allow large numbers of foreigners to immigrate even as migrant workers. Until that day arrives, if it ever does arrive, those wishing to move here permanently will have to meet some strict requirements. In fact, instead of making it easier for foreigners some politicians are proposing laws that would make passing a certain level of Japanese proficiency to obtain work visas. I think this is actually a good idea. They need to add a culture quiz too.
