HOW TO FILL OUT THE JAPAN VISA APPLICATION FORM FOR TOURISTS
https://www.thepoortraveler.net/2013/11/japan-visa-requirements-manila-philippines/
Before anything else, take note of these general guidelines:

• Print the application form on an A4 paper only. Other sizes are not accepted.
• Fill out the form either digitally or by hand. Both computerized (typewritten) and handwritten are accepted. But for handwritten forms, make sure that you write in block letters and that they are readable.
• Use a black pen. Do not use erasable pens or pencils! Likewise, if you fill it out digitally, use black font.
• Don’t use correction tape or liquid. Try to avoid any erasure. If something needs to be corrected, use double line (2 strikethroughs). If there are too many erasures, best to start all over with a fresh blank form.
• Don’t leave any field blank. If the item or question doesn’t apply to you, write NA or N/A, which is short for Not Applicable.
• Do not staple the form! The agency will most likely remove them too.
