Japan bartender requirements?

Question:

I'm a native of Japan and I'm going back once i turn 20. I would like to become a bartender in any establishment that serves alcohol, and I'm clueless on the requirements. What is required of me? Schooling, experience, age, etc?

I speak very little Japanese but I plan to improve.

Answer:

You have to take its exam and pass at first.

Then you try to find a job as a bartender. The website is in Japanese. But you must be able to read it.
