For the business visa category, did you need to apply separately or was that something automatic that Japan gives to vistors coming from the US for 90 days?
That was rather petty of them - but it appears they are really cracking down in the past few years.
If you have a US passport then you don’t need to apply separately just choose that option when filing in the VJ application. Just have some plausible business purpose that doesn’t require a special visa in case they ask.
