It really depends on what kind of work you can do. If you can do language teaching then you could get 3000 or so an hour. If you work in a fast food place then you would be getting 900 or so an hour.
According to the terms of a student visa you are allowed to work up to 20 hours a week. However, in the case of teaching it's only contact hours that count towards that 20 hours. Given that a lot of teachers in Japan would have a maximum of 20 contact hours a week, it's possible to have full-time pay but be part-time in terms of the visa.

A common wage for teaching English privately is 3000en/hour. You could set up two classes per evening during the week, and maybe have 5 classes Sat and Sun. That would give you about 60,000/week, roughly 240,000/month. In other words, a full-time salary for doing part-time work.
Now the tricky part is actually doing it. How much can you handle? How willing are you to look for students? How much time do you need for your own studying, for preparing for your students, for free time?

you could easily get a full time contract and work Monday through Friday 6-10 and 11-6 on Saturday or Sunday. Full-time ESL teacher contracts range from 200000 Yen to 320000. You would probably only be able to hit the lower end of that spectrum because it looks as if you don't have a degree yet.
If you do, you could get more.

Legally you can't work without a work visa. And to work legally you need a solid job offer BEFORE you enter the country...Don't know what happens if / when you get caught, but I would'nt want to find out the hard way...
