A degree is the simplest. Roughly 10 years of documented relevant experience will also work. Failing that, an education deemed equivalent to a Japanese vocational school by immigration in the specific field in which you’ll be employed will also work.
These are of course all immigration requirements. If you’re getting a status of residence that isn’t related to work (spouse of a Japanese national, Japanese ancestors, etc) then employers tend to be more flexible.

This information is in the visa wiki.
Read this subreddit’s sidebar, rule 2.
