One doesn't. If getting a degree is a problem, just go to a community college and major in something, work hard, finish early, and then go to Japan and enjoy a lifetime, or however long you plan to spend, there.

buddy, i think u need some degree atleast to teach others.. But you can take tuition.. Better consult tht locality.
What you need to do is apply on a Teaching Certification Program.

This usually is a short course and upon finishing it, you will be granted a Teaching Certificate which in turn will give you the privilege to teach your field of specialization.
I'm guessing from your username that you're from the US? You can't get a work visa to work in Japan without a company sponsoring you, and a 4-year university degree. You cannot work legally in Japan without a work visa.

Some countries (including the UK, Ireland, and Australia, but not the United States) have an agreement with Japan that allow young people to enter Japan for up to a year to work. It's called the Working Holiday Visa.

You don't necessarily need a degree to teach English. You need the degree in order to get the work visa.

While some schools may ask for a degree not all of them will insist on this.

Your only other option is to marry a Japanese national and get a spousal visa.
Sorry, to get the required work visa, you need to have completed a 4 year college degree. You could marry a Japanese citizen and be able to work on a spouse visa however so there is a chance that way as an alternate.
