You may want to do a search on "alt job japan" within these forums. I think you will then find the answer you are looking for.

Cost of living in Japan is not as expensive as some think. You can go to a family restaurant (similar to Sizzlers in Australia) and enjoy a salad / bread and soup bar buffet all for ￥893 for lunch. This also includes a hot meal consisting of a meat pattie (large rissole). Quite a good deal. If you eat enough, you can generally miss dinner.

Some family restaurants in Japan are:

Volks
Skylark
Gusto
Sazeiriya
Bikkuri Donkey
Royal Host
Kobeya (offers freshly baked breads and a salad bar)
Bamiyan (Chinese food)

Then there are Japanese fast foods places like Yoshinoya and Matsuya. These "donburi" places offer rice with meat on top and salad side dishes. A filling meal can be had for around ￥600.

Let me know what other prices you need and I can let you know.

If you don't hold a Uni degree, then you will find it extremely hard to get a teaching job in Japan, UNLESS you apply for a Working Holiday visa.
