Can I find a remote job in the US and work from Japan?

My question is exactly what the title says, I want to live and work from Japan for a US company. Is that possible? Has anyone done this before? Can I be a digital nomad in Japan?

For context, I am a US graduate (Indian Citizen now living in India) and just starting out my career (<2 years of experience), I got an amazing job offer at a completely remote company but they allowed work only from the US. I have a BBA and graduated with a 3.8 GPA and studied Economics, Statistics, and Psychology. I don't code but I have done Data Analyst, Business Consultant, and Operations Analyst roles, open to any roles that go with my majors.

I want to learn Japanese at a Japanese school in Japan but I will need to find a job first to pay for it and support my life in Japan. I have been applying for some time but haven't really got any leads yet. Can someone please help me or encourage me if you have been in the same situation before?

I don't have any type of Japanese VISA yet, but I think I will require a long-term working VISA because I want to stay there for more than 90 days, work from there, and be a student while working.

So, here is my question asking for three things:

  1. Are there any companies in Japan that specifically hire US graduates and don't require Japanese?
  2. Are there any American companies that hire US graduates but operate from Japan?
  3. Can I work at a Japanese firm without knowing any Japanese?

I'm sure there will be tax and VISA constraints eventually which is why I want to find a company that is comfortable with a situation like mine. Any help will be appreciated!
