Well, glad to hear you haven't used your WHV yet. Unfortunately the WHV is only short-term, so the last thing you want to do is arrive to Japan and only find work 2 months later. You really need to find work within 2 weeks of arriving to Japan, otherwise applying for your WHV would be a waste.

If you don't think you can get work within 2 weeks, then head to Japan on a tourist visa, and once you find work, apply for your WHV from outside of Japan.

I would recommend though you completing an online TEFL course. That way it will boost your chances. Get your WHV before you arrive, and then once you get to Japan, you will be ready to work asap as you will have your WHV and a TESL Certificate. Schools will love this!
