I have just graduated high school, and I was wondering if there was any way of me finding a job in Japan. I would not mind teaching English but I'm not fluent in Japanese, and as you can deduce I do not have a Bachelors degree what should I do, or where should I go? Thank you very much for your time!

You have little to no chance of that happening. Go to college, become fluent in Japanese by studying a major that involves the language/culture, and then go to Japan. If you double major, your odds would be better.

You need a college degree to get a working visa of Japan. It's not possible at this moment. But you can get working holiday visa if you are from certain countries. http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/w_holiday/index.html

Sorry, but you need a four year degree to qualify for a work visa,and a job offer before you get there. You don't need to know Japanese to teach English as many schools don't want Japanese to be spoken in the classroom. There maybe programs where you could go as a student, but that would cost you money and the return would be very little. If you mean a regular job, it can't happen.Their government requires a four year degree. There is the wwoof program where you can work on an organic farm for room & board.Not sure what they have available at this time of year.

Try going to the web site below. This is a Japanese government web site, and I think they know what they're talking about. If you want to stay more than 90 days, you need a visa.

I hear that there used to be many Europeans and Americans without a four-year degree who come to Japan without a work visa, find a job as an English teacher during their temporary stay and get a work visa. The maximum length of stay without a visa is 90 days. It is against the immigration law to engage in labor during this period. So you need to come with sufficient funds to support your life. But these days, the economy has been down and it would not be easy to find an English teacher job.
