Teaching in Japan after 2 years of work experience?

Hi guys,

Just like the title above, would it be ok to teach in Japan after 2 years of work experience? I'll have 1 year of work experience as a qualified licenced teacher in Australia. This is as an English literature teacher.

My other teaching subject is Chinese and I plan to teach English or English literature in China for about a year.

I'm also working on my Japanese and plan to try and get my Japanese to n2 to n1 next year.

I don't mind the idea of starting at small international schools, but I'd rather do something related to full time teaching instead of alt work. Would working under a small international school help broaden my future job opportunities if I want to live long term?

My partner is also planning to move to Japan for full time work under the ssw visa, and I was wondering if the 300,000 yen to 400,000 yen is more than enough for me.

Because of my love of learning languages, I'm hoping I can do something maybe in communications like translation when I get good in Japanese but that's a future dream.
