There is a need for photographers there just like there is anywhere else in the world. As for how much money they make, I don't know. I think you should come to Japan as a tourist, study the langauge and do some research. Good luck.

You would need to be able to read, write, and speak Japanese to do that.

dont have time for a long reply, but they do quite well. Every child, due to tradition gets their photo taken at aged 3, 7 etc. Plus school events and stuff, so every child in the photo will want a copy. I have a friend who has been running their store for many generations now, the current owner is like fifth generation. money bags Id think.

Even down in Kagoshima amateur photographers are a dime a dozen. If you want to be a pro, there is not much in terms of high profile work, but the private studio business is quite popular. As a foreigner, without an established name, it would really be difficult for you to break into the business. What kind of photography are you talking about? Portrait? Still? Nature? Art?

Learn Japanese first. Most of the ppl in the industry do not speak English.
