I'm not expert but my advice would be to go to Japan with as much savings as possible, just as if you were moving to another city in the US. Get an on-call part-time job teaching english. You'll make about $25/hour but that's often for just one hour at a time. With your "free" time be proactive and look for opportunities to find your own students. Billing them directly you'll earn double. Most lessons are being taught in students homes or in cafes so you don't need your own space, you just have to be good at getting around and being on time.
