If I wanted to live in Japan for 3 years could I?

Question:

without becoming a citizen? I'd teach english somewhere there so would I need a visa f some sort? The visas really confuse me. Thanks in advance x

Answer:

That's a big if...You need a four year degree to qualify for a work visa, And then a job offer before you get there.Most contracts are for one year. The competition is much higher than it was in the past. So it isn't easy.
Becoming a citizen isn't easy either.
