The degree would enable you to get a visa, and the degree in teaching in specific would help you in your chosen career. I'm not sure, but I think there are also degrees in TEFL, but I could be wrong.

Very true, I think some teachers college have options for students to major/specialize in specific area. A good friend of mine major in Math, and thats what he teaches mainly now, is Grade 12 and pre-university Math
So, maybe you can go to teachers college majoring in English if such option exist? Most of the english teachers in Japan does not have neither, in most cases, not even ONE of these, so a Teacher's college degree in English will definitely make you that much more competitive.....
You should message RealJames, he is a very active member on this forum and a current English teacher, I think he has his own tutorial operation as well, but oyu have to check with him, he can tell you more about salary.... the rest is really just exploring and understanding the standard of living there, whcih you can get tones of info on the "Living in Japan" forum. Any question, just ask.
