Are you in Japan now? If so, you'll need to get a reentry permit from your ward office. With the reentry permit and your current visa, you'll be able to use the Japanese passport line at immigration, which will save you a lot of time.

There are two types of reentry permits, a single trip permit, and a multiple trip permit. It is best to get the multiple trip permit, it is handy to have in case you need to travel in an emergency, and don't have time to wait in line at the ward office again.
