Applying for a tourist visa as a U.S. citizen/tourist in Japan

Hello, I wanted to know if it was okay to apply for a L type for PRC as a U.S. citizen/tourist in Japan, specifically the consulate in Fukuoka, despite not living there? I live in Florida and there is not Chinese consulate in my state, the nearest being Houston. I would much prefer to apply in person, so I wonder if it is possible for me to apply at the consulate general in Fukuoka, as I will be visiting Fukuoka next month and have time to apply before my trip to China. Thank you!
