Many of the programs that take American teachers to teach in Japan usually only take "young" teachers. I have a co-teacher who returned from Japan two years ago. When she went, she was straight out of college and had no classroom teaching experience. She said the reason they do that is because they tend to not want to bring over adults who are set in their political views. I've talked to other teachers in my age range (30's) who have tried to to go to Japan and were denied. They were actually told they "waited too long." It makes sense if you think about what I was saying before.
I don't know how true these statements are but I'm just telling you what two teachers I've talked to who've working in the program or tried to get into the program told me.
If you try to get into the program, be very careful about the company you try to go over with. Some of them are very disruptuable and are a scam. But there are some who pay your airfare, living expenses, and then a salary (that is higher than my current salary). Just do your research.

If you put "an" before "English" the next time you have an occasion to write your question, I see no problem! Ha! (I'm playing with you). With those credentials, if you have a clean background (no law violations) and a good standing in your teaching, there should be no problem getting a job in Jappan. Good luck!

"I have been an English teacher for twenty-five years" would be the grammatically-correct way to write that sentence.
Good luck in Japan.
