Guaranteed way to find work on a working holiday visa?

I'll be arriving in Japan in two months on a working holiday visa, and I will need work to sustain myself for a year.

I thought it might be a good idea to pay some employment agency to find a job for me – so that I could enjoy my stay without stressing about work. It would also allow me to feel secure while potentially looking for other jobs in different parts of the country.
Does anyone have any experience with employment agencies? Is that even a possibility?

A few things about me:
– I don't speak Japanese (beyond some very basic communication)
– my English level is high, and I could see myself teaching it, but unfortunately I am not a native speaker
– I am not opposed to any work and I do not expect to earn much more than a minimum wage
– I would love to be able to stay in Tokyo in particular, but I'll take a job pretty much anywhere in the country

I would welcome any input, even if you don't know anything about the type of employment agencies I have in mind. Thank you!
