I've got 8 years experience in my field (IT) and have applied to a UK university. They're offering to put me in the final year of a 3 year degree in IT? Does Japan still see it as a 3 year degree?

I don't think it matter which year you start in. They look at how long is the degree itself worth. So if the normal program is 4 years worth, and somehow they let you enter the university at 4th year, its still a 4 years degree.
A friend of mine came from Romania, she finished an engineering degree there, but her studies was actually somewhere between a Bachelor and a Master degree (comparing to North America), they (Japan) still considered it as a Master degree and she got a 3 years contract there.
