Advice on studying history MA (in English) in Japan?

One of my goals for a while has been to study history in Japan (hopefully as a stepping stone to academia). Throughout my undergraduate degree, I did numerous modules concerning Japanese history, and even wrote my dissertation about postwar Japanese cinema; I was partly inspired by my diss supervisor, who also left to do a Master’s in Japan at my age.

However, his advice is a little outdated, and I don’t really know where to start. Are there any universities known for offering history courses in English? I’d obviously like to be more proficient in Japanese by then, but for now it’s quite difficult to find reliable info on it. Are there any obvious sources of funding/scholarships? I’d like to teach English while there, but I’d probably need more finances. Any other tips?
