Moving to Japan as a Non-Native English Speaker

Hello there,

I'm a 30 years old English teacher(about 4 years) from Turkey. I'm looking for a change in my life as I'm not happy in where I am and Japan has always been in my mind. I want to work in Japan for at least a year.

I've mixed feelings about teaching English in Japan, generally I heard that it's not a good experience and the companies mostly prefer native speakers anyway. Unfortunately I don't have any other skills other than teaching. I wouldn't mind labour work, as I grew up in a farm, but I don't know if I can apply for those kind of works overseas.

I'm in need of your advices, and sorry for taking your time.

EDIT: I also don't know how to make döner. Sorry Japan.
