No, for the vast majority of work visas the requirements in a bachelors degree. There are some visas open to certain countries for low skilled workers, but you are likely not eligible for those as you must be from that country and it’s for things like factory workers and such, not English teaching.
Teaching jobs in specific require a degree, or enough experience that you’d basically earn a degree anyway. For the visa anyway. If you come on a working holiday or hold another status of residence that allows you to work (spouse, dependent, etc) you could easily get an ALT or Eikaiwa job.
There are other careers that don’t need a degree. I myself got an engineer visa with my college diploma (not a degree).
Unless you marry a PR holder or Japanese citizen, then most likely no. There’s working holiday, but that only applies for certain countries and is only valid up to 1 year, as far as I know.
