I am a recent college grad and have plans to teach English in Japan. I have done some research into the two main options- recruiter vs. heading on over and finding a job once I get there- but I would like to hear some opinions as to which one is the better route to go. I understand that going over and finding a job and getting a place on my own would cost much $, I have heard horror stories online and elsewhere from people who were hired outside of Japan and got put in a real crappy situation. Through I�m asking for opinions; please try to be as objective as possible.
Thanks.

just to be clear, I do plan on being certified as TESL or TEFL before leaving so I would have some sort of qualification. Thanks

You didn't have to shotgun this in 3 forums, musashi. I'd say stick to the Japan forum for the most relevant answers.
