Tatiana, this is not a visa, but your entire travel via China will be covered by 24 hour visa free transit, so there is no visa of any kind at all.
Your layover that is 9 hours long is exactly a border case where Chinese officials decide whether they will or not allow for a particular person to exit the airport. In other words, your change to be allowed to exit the airport are somewhat fifty-fifty. In any case, your first move when you land in Beijing will be to approach 24/144 hour visa free transit counter where you will apply for a temporary entry permit in order to be allowed to exit the airport.
This application is free of charge and here you will present your flight itinerary. After a short check an airport official will decide whether to grant you a permit or not. If you are granted a permit, you will proceed to the immigration and then to the city to enjoy your time on your own. If the permit is not granted, you will remain airside waiting for your flight to Osaka. In any case, I wish you the best of luck and a nice journey.
