TLDR : Answer Summary

The user currently holds a Non-O visa in Bangkok and is considering traveling to Tokyo to apply for a Non-O visa. However, comments suggest that applying in Japan is generally difficult without residency status. Additionally, many believe it is more practical to seek assistance from an agent instead.

Unless you have a Japanese residency card or in a military overseas placement, you cannot apply in Japan.

Even Japanese residents need to apply in the area they live in.

Residency cards can only be applied for after living in the country for a minimum of 6 months

I doubt anyone will answer you. No one goes that far just to get a new visa, they go to a neighboring country. Plus Japan has been closed for years so there wouldn't be any recent reports.
