♡You've already got loads of good advice here from everyone, listen to them.
I can understand you wanting to come to Japan to study and live, it's a wonderful place. I love living and working here. If you ever make it someday, you'll love it too.
If you need to earn extra money there at home, ask the people around you, who you trust, for odd jobs. When you aren't in school or studying, you can walk friend's/neighbor's dogs, wash their cars, clean their yards, pick up groceries for them... ASK people what YOU can do for THEM. Someone around you always needs something done! ASK around.
As everyone has said, living in Japan alone will most likely be impossible. You should find an exchange student program that you can sign up with. That way you have all the details taken care of by a legitimate program. I don't recommend you just pick up and come alone, save yourself the trouble. You won't even be able to get a place to live. Believe it or not, even some Japanese people need a guarantor when renting a privately owned apartment. You should be fluent in Japanese to attend school and work here. It's not easy, trust me.
Take the time to check the MOFA site, study Japanese and learn about life in Japan. What's the hurry? Better to be prepared and safe, than sorry. You'll be able to enjoy your time here better when you're a little older.

~As to what you can do in Japan at 16, there are a few things, but they're probably things YOU DON'T WANT TO DO.

Not a lady but please don't hate.
My advise is go to Japan for college.
Highschool is fun don't get me wrong but it's not open to multi culture as colleges are. And as someone mentioned very hard to get a visa.
I went to 2 International highschools in Japan. (1 in Kyoto 1 in Tokyo) Because I got kicked out of one for reasons I won't write here.
And both highschools did not have even 1 person with a foreign nationality. I guess it's different if you go to an American school in Japan but those are very VERY expensive.
Seriously you should go during college.
As someone already mentioned, they have programs for studying abroad and I hear good things about Temple University in Japan. Plus there's so much more you can experience after you turn 18. First take a few years to learn the culture and language. You never know, you might hate living there after you move. I know I did. And I spoke the language AND knew the culture before I even moved.
Of course as I grew older and accostomed to my surroundings I began to really see the good things about Japan.
Well that's my 2 cents.
But whatever you choose patience is the key!

Not a lady but just want to leave with you a word of advice.
Moving to Tokyo (or any other big city where you are most likely to find jobs) - like any other cosmopolitan city - can be a dangerous proposition.
And finding jobs in areas outside these main areas - especially if you are not 16 yet and don't speak Japanese - is going to be really hard.
Try exploring summer programs or exchange programs - know that there are a few good ones out there. You can get a lay of the land and still have that support system to help you get the best out of your experience here.

I'm sorry, but it's not going to work.
: (
For a start, you'd have a struggle to get a suitable visa allowing you to study AND work.
http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/04.html
you'd need C. specified visa. It CAN be done, but I don't know if they'd let you come on your own ... can't you do a student exchange or something??
Secondly, High Schools in Japan are NOT free!! People have to PAY for them because education is not compulsory after you're 15...! (See link below, they show the compulsory years in yellow ...)
http://web-japan.org/kidsweb/japan/schools.html
Thirdly, if you DID manage to get here and study, there would be SO much work that I doubt if you'd ever manage a job too...! Do you speak fluent Japanese already? If not, you'd have a real struggle in class.
I can't think of any more cons right now ... but I'll probably remember some more later...!
Sorry I can't be optimistic and hopeful for you ...

Try finishing college first, then try to get into a Japanese company. School fees could cost a fortune like house rent. If you are deserving enough they offer free language training and there are times when business trips to Japan are offered (from 2 days up to months) every now and then. I went to Japan for training without spending a single centavo or dollar, it was all company paid and they even gave me allowance for clothing and food to go with it. Its hard to go there if you don't know much of their language since only a handful of people could actually speak English, even within the corporate staff. Good luck.

You have a long road ahead if you want to go to Japan. First, you would need to know sufficient Japanese to be able to function in High school there. 2nd, you would have to go thru the visa process which is definately not fun, and third, you are too young to get an apartment in Japan, the minimum renting age is at least 18, you have no real support network, and you would definately be in over your head.
However, if you can hold out a few years, instead of trying to go to high school in japan (which getting into a good one is notoriously hard) you could instead go to college, there are american colleges in Japan that cater to international students, one of the best known is Temple University Japan campus, http://www.tuj.ac.jp/newsite/main/index.html you could once you graduate high school go to college in the heart of Tokyo, you would be a bit more mature and have a much easier time of getting everything in order.
I have a friend over there who is doing that right now, she is having a blast and just turned 19.

They don't really have time same type of child working laws that the US have so I doubt would be such a problem finding a job as it would be here. Try watressing or working at a movie theatre, or some other job thats part time and easier to manage while still going to school.

Don't simply mobilephone. Go to a potential paintings situation in individual. Also, get dressed the way you might in case you have been going to begin operating there proper whilst you stroll in. Be constructive within the interview, and seem the interviewer within the eye.
