Teach English in Japan without a degree?

I'm looking for a life experience. I'm working towards a degree to teach English abroad (not necessarily Japan). Problem is I don't have one yet, I'm 3 1/2 years away.

I'm wondering if I could travel to Japan on a Working Holiday Visa for Canadian citizens.

And use that to teach English in Japan over the summer as a test drive to see if I should continue on this life path as well as bank some cash for school. I heard the only reason you need a degree is to get a work visa in the first place, and this is a one time thing. What do you think, possible?

Teaching English merely need u nothing in China. You can teach English if you are from US. That's enough. i got an old couple from California or WTF. They are 60+ old. Just to fooling us making money. OLD FARTS!! They playing Hollywood movie
for whole lessons for Reading and Writing. Final test is about plots from moives. WTF!

By the way, i got a Phillipian monkey oral English teacher with a full ACCENT. FUCK！
