Visa for American Citizen in Tokyo Japan

You are right that the application should be submited through a travel agency in Tokyo. May I know what type you want? if for tourist L, flight tickets and hotel reservation are required, which you can also book with the travel agency in Tokyo. If for business F application, invitation letter from a company or individual is necessary. The processing takes 4 working days. You can also contact an agency if possible for the latest information.

I have all the required documents: an invitation letter, round-trip flight ticket, and hotel information. Either F or L visa would be okay. Can I apply for multiple entries- 1 year or multiple entries- 6 months? I have been reading reviews on the internet and some people are saying that it is difficult for an American to obtain it in Japan, is this the truth? If so,why?

I don't think so, but multiple entries is impossible if you visit for the first time, or without invitation letter issued by an authorized unit.
