Yes, but you don`t have to have it in hand at the time of enrollment. You enroll in their program and get the visa through them.
You can`t get a student visa until you`re enrolled in a school, and you can`t actually attend the school until you`ve gotten the visa.
If the school accepts you, getting a visa is just a matter of paperwork, really.

How long do you think would be necessary to study at a Japanese language school before actually attempting going to a four-year university in Japan? I always thought that for the universities in Japan, you actually had to test your way in.

How long would depend on what kind of course and how good of a student you are, really. I`d say minimum of a year.
You have to test your way in as a
regular student. International students are a completely different category - in entry requirements, tuition, etc. An international student can actually have a much easier time getting into a prestigious university than a normal student. It all depends on the university and their international program. Some places will let you in with a JLPT1 and a recommendation - no real test at all.
