I just wonder but how hard it is to find a job even a small one in Japan, from a japanese and a foreigner POV?
Not hard at all for a native from everything I've read. The shrinking Labor force and total lack of notable immigration has many Japanese companies getting desperate for workers and unemployment is extremely low (lowest in decades). There's something like 150 openings for every 100 people looking for work, though many of those jobs are lower paying or part time, they're still out there.
Someone unable to find at least a part time job in Japan at the moment is probably more an issue of being picky then a genuine lack of positions.

Well, the inverse to that is that there have been basically none of the long-term salaried jobs where people went to work for one big company and stay there until they retire or die that Japan had been known for up until the 90's. Yeah, there's a dearth of oyster shuckers that they get foreign laborers to do, but there's little white-collar work.
