Traveling alone to Japan at 17 years old?

I'm planning on visiting this summer alone. I'm 17 (turning 18 in November). My parents are fine with me going there alone (we've been there before, but due to work, no one is able to accompany me).
What paperwork do I have to fill out in order to travel there and not run into any issues with US/Japanese immigration/customs?

As far as Japan is concerned, you don't need to do anything more than someone who's 18 or 20. The US things are off-topic here.

Do you think I'll have trouble checking in at a hotel, despite my parents booking me though? Would a notarized affidavit approving my travel work? I should probably have this affidavit written in both Japanese and English, right?

You (or your parents) should tell the Hotel you travel alone when you book.
Under 18 yo is prohibited to go out in midnight by most of the prefectures.

Hotels often (that I have bothered to notice) have a requirement that the person checking in is 18+, so that could be a problem for you if you do not check in advance.
