Screw Japan, teach English in Korea.

Some are, but in these cases they usually pay for the following:
Monthly, weekly or bi-weekly meal stipend.
Pay for housing.
No taxes on your income!
Some pay for airline tickets.
Not kidding. The Ministry of Education also started an initiative to hire 20% more English tutors by 2012, so jobs are more available than ever!
Some private schools can be up to 50-60/hr, though they generally require some good credentials/knowing somebody. I'd wanna work at a hagwon personally. They're more isolated but the pay is better and you get a different experience from the big city, or so I've heard.

*sigh*
I think I'll just withhold my comments. Waffen, I think you should consider South Korea. With some proper research, there are some very nice opportunities available.

Something South Korea and Japan definitely have in common.
