I do not have a bachelors degree or any qualifications above secondary school (UK education system). I am basically starting from zero. If i wanted to become an English teacher in Japan what would be the best way? First i think i should retake a few GCSEs but after that, what should i do? Is it possible to become an English teacher without a degree from a university?

You can teach English without a degree but to be honest you'll be teaching at the very bottom end of the market in the worst schools. And very possibly you'll be teaching illegally because the usual minimum qualifications to teach English are a degree and a TEFL certificate. In Japan specifically, you will need a degree in order to get a work visa. So I would recommend taking a couple more GCSEs and then a degree. You can do the TEFL certificate at any time.
