I am seeking a medical treatment in Japan, but the hospital only accept a patient with the Japanese Health Insurance cover, although I am going to pay 100% of the hospital bills. Please advice whether there is an Insurance Company who can sell the Japanese Health Insurance for foreigner (I am appointed as an overseas Director for a Japanese Company). Thank you.

If you are living in Japan on status other than temporary visitor, you can go to the social insurance office/city hall to sign up. If you are just visiting short term, maybe you need to rely on travel insurance that you signed up before you came?

Look for a different hospital. Find a foreign doctor to refer you. (Not knowing what area of Japan you're in, it's impossible to suggest anything more specific.)
