Hi there! According to the website of the embassy, foreigners from a third country must apply in person at the consulate or embassy. However, I noticed a post saying that someone was told to use an agency to apply for the tourist type because he is not Japanese citizens. So I think you need to confirm this with the consulate first and then make the decision. If you get any answer, please share with me, thank you!
