Did you read the note at the bottom of that chart?
"Nationals of countries and regions that have taken measures concerning the waiver of visa requirements with Japan for stays of up to six months in principle are granted permission to stay in Japan for 90 days at the time of landing. Nationals of these countries and regions who wish to stay in Japan for more than 90 days must apply at their nearest immigration authority in Japan for an extension of their period of stay."
In other words, you don't need a visa.
I think people are getting the nomenclature mixed up. What some people refer to as a tourist visa isn't really a "visa". It's just a 90 day stamp in your passport.
