How/Possible to find adjunct lecturer positions with visa sponsorship with basic Japanese?

Do you guys have any advice on how to find adjunct lecturer jobs (or equivalent) in Japan? Is it possible with a basic level of Japanese (say, N5)? I started learning only two months ago at barely half an hour a day since I feel guilty about working on anything not-dissertation nowadays.

I am just wrapping up my ph.d from a US uni (if it makes a difference, it's an ivy league one) and I have taught social science research methods & statistics classes since I was an undergraduate. I designed and taught two graduate courses, so I think I can bring an engaging class if all the students are fluent in English but I am having a hard time finding a job posting that doesn't require me to use google translate.

Anyways, long and short of it – is there any chance of finding a uni teaching job in Japan without high Japanese proficiency? If so, how does one go about it? What are the websites etc, please help if you know 🙂 Thank you!
