It depends. In high school most are really ALT (Assistant Language Teachers) that are dispatched to schools by dispatch companies, there is also the JET programme which is a government program where you go there from 1-3 years before returning and make a report of sorts. Its ALT because the actual English teacher in the school is usually a Japanese teacher and you are the "assistant" even though you might get an entire classes to yourself at times. Ah and your benefits stink in comparison to real teachers. Being a native English speaker of course. Clean criminal history, etc basic things like that. Check out the JET Programme.

Average pay is about 250,000 yen a month. That may or may not be good unless your employer helps with housing. Since NOVA went bankrupt, there are now more teachers than jobs. So it won't be easy.
