Yes you need a visa as you're not in transit.
You fly Japan - China - Japan and that's not a transit.

Even if I originate from the US? I don’t even leave the airport during layover. The layover is only 3hrs

Only the stop immediately before Shanghai matters and not your point of origin. You can elect to apply for a visa for $140 or change your ticket, otherwise boarding/entry will be swiftly refused.
