after getting the visa you need to register at the tax office
you also will have a very hard time finding a Japanese national to be your guarantor for the office location

I used a local law firm who were able to set everything set up for me, and they also provided me with a guarantor. The cost for the guarantor was equivalent to one month's rent, which was expensive.They also handled the registration at the tax office, and assistance with accounting for the first year. It was not cheap, but they did the leg work for me. All I was required to do was show up at the office to sign the paperwork. I was also able to get a business credit card, which was helpful.
