Takaekato, you can enjoy free entry to PRC because you hold Japan passport. Your friend can enjoy the free transit in Beijing. He is eligible for the 24 hour direct transit and the 72 hour free transit, while in real practice, because he transits within 24 hours, he may need to apply for a temporary stay permit at the immigration if he wants to leave the airport and have a tour. The temporary stay permit is free of charge. Have a good journey.
