What types of jobs are available in Japan for foreign woman who doesn't speak Japanese?

Travel Tips
As you have already read, the main job that is available to non-Japanese-speakers, much less women, is teaching English. Anything other than than that gets a little seedy. The dancing, club hostess, etc. If you can find a place run by an English speaker, or a native of an English speaking country, they might be willing to hire you, but Japanese skills would definitely be a plus. And Japanese is something you can pick up quite quickly.

But your first obstecle would be to find a sponsor for a visa if you are going for a working visa. So check the English school circuit. And usually school hire locally, very rarely do they hire via the internet.

So, I would recommend you to come over on a tourist visa, find a sponsor, then go home and get ready to come.

Good luck. Source(s): Me. Been there, done that. (Not the "woman" part) I've been living in Japan for over 15 years.

Other Travel Tips
Put it this way, what jobs would be available to you in the UK if you spoke no English and is a foreigner?

Maybe a cleaner?
Teach English (If that is your language)
Son of a friend did it.
English is enough....Japan is a modern State.
There are many jobs available to foreigners in Japan who don't speak English.

If you are a professional, check out monster.com, hotjobs.com, or careerbuilder.com -- those sites usually post a lot of technical, financial, or other professional jobs that cater to foreign businesses operating in Japan.

If you are not a professional, one of the best sites to look at is gaijinpot.com. Most of the jobs on that site are for English teachers, but there are also a lot of postings for restaurant workers, bartenders, hotel workers, etc.

Speaking of teaching English, you can get a job with either the Japanese public school system (JET program) or with any one of the hundreds of private English converational schools all over the country (Nova, Aeon, Geos, etc.).

Finally, another option is to work on a U.S. military base in Japan. The U.S. operates a number of Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps bases all over Japan that employ U.S. citizens in a wide variety of jobs.
