First of all, does God want you to be a missionary in Japan?

Second, are you being a missionary where you are? If you aren't witnessing to people of your own language and culture and leading them to Christ, you will have even greater difficulty doing it overseas.

Thirdly, do other godly people in your church or of your acquaintance believe God is leading you to be a missionary? Are they willing to stand behind you in prayer?

If so, you might start by learning Japanese and studying their culture so you understand how they think. If there are any Japanese in your area, get to know them, learn from them, and be a testimony to them.

Pray! If God wants you in Japan, He will provide a way for you to get there.

I just want to go to Japan free of charge and I can't think of any other way to get there. and the main reason is to meet girls.

But I think I can help out Missionaries in Japan. I'm not biblically illerate and I do know alot about the Japanese Culture.

It's not a totally selfish ambition

Maybe, but is it a good motive for serving God in this way? No mission board would accept you as a candidate.  Furthermore, even for missionaries, there is no way to go to Japan "free of charge".

I suppose you could become a merchant seaman and work your way over on a freighter, but most countries, including ours, are reluctant to admit people with no visible means of support. Or you could join the military and hope to get yourself posted there - but you might end up in Iraq!

There are probably a lot of Japanese girls over here, or you can use the internet.
