Visas for Americans hoping to travel, study or work in Japan are controlled by the Japanese government. Below is some general information on visas for Americans.
Tourist or Short Term Business Americans generally may enter Japan for business or pleasure without a visa and stay up to 90 days. Travelers entering the country without a visa must have a return or onward ticket in their possession, proof of adequate of funds for their stay, and be otherwise admissible under Japanese law. Extensions of the 90 days stay are normally not allowed, and no changes to status are permitted.

you should obtain a visa before coming to Japan. Visas are issued only by Japanese Embassies and Consulates overseas.
