What should American students do to apply for a Japanese tourist visa in the United States?

A good exit record is very helpful for obtaining an American visa.

Because the visa officers of the US Embassy in Japan and China have completely different judgment standards, the application rate in Japan will be higher than that in China. I suggest you apply in Japan.

1. proof of study.

2. A valid passport. (It is best to have a US study visa for more than half a year)

3. Travel schedule. From the United States to Japan, you can do your own self-help tour or join a tour group organized by an American travel agency. The latter can let travel agencies apply for visas. The chances of rejection are even smaller.
