That little stamp is called a TOURIST VISA.
But that`s beside the point. What you`re saying is really a mystery. You`re saying you plan to live in Japan permanently... But that you don`t need a visa because you`ll be a tourist.
Unless you`re talking about your visits to China.
You know that granted-upon-entry VISA they give tourists? It only happens among countries that are part of a specific agreement. There are only 27 countries currently taking part. The ONLY countries that are part of that agreement are those on this list:
Andorra
Australia
Austria
Belgium
Brunei
Denmark
Finland
France
Germany
Iceland
Ireland
Italy
Japan
Liechtenstein
Luxembourg
Monaco
the Netherlands
New Zealand
Norway
Portugal
San Marino
Singapore
Slovenia
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
United Kingdom
Do you see China on that list? I know I certainly don`t. That means that they do not grant visas upon entry. You HAVE to apply for a visa prior to your trip. Also, as a side note, not all the countries IN THIS PROGRAM grant 90 day visas. Some only grant 30 days, some grant up to 6 months. It varies based on the country you`re from and the country you`re visiting.
PLEASE actually do your research if you`re going to say you have.
