Teaching allows you to do this quite easily as most teaching companies will sponsor people who they offer a job to. You can apply wherever you are in the world too, so it's pretty easy. If you have a gap year you might also be able to go on a working holiday visa, but it depends on your nationality. check the local japanese embassy site and give em a call easiest way to be sure!

But how do you get a working visa for Japan? I've been wanting to go for years now, and with my gap year approaching, I'm really, REALLY, hoping to spend some of it there. Japan sounds great!

Nice list! Ive only been to Tokyo 4 times, and spent about 12 weeks in total there, but i can sympathise with a lot of things on these lists. I can only imagine how crappy it is having lived there for as long as you did! No intentions of going back to the happy land? Oh - and you missed 24 hour yoshinoya goodness on the good list :-P Have a goodun!
