I've seen articles over the past several years in the paper where your housing is payed for, and less is required to teach English in Japan. it's a known practice that being immersed in another language entirely helps people to learn that language almost by forcing them, being unable to communicate in their native tongue (which should be especially easy if you're going to be teaching elementary students). As long as you have some sort of benchmark learning curriculum to grade the advancement of your students, I wouldn't think it would be all that hard. Look in the local news papers, at the back of the employment guides & classifieds. That's where I remember seeing the ads I mentioned before.
