Japan being the home of shiatsu, there are many thousands of Japanese people practicing that profession here. To get a visa to practice shiatsu here you would need to be employed by a shiatsu clinic in Japan and sponsored by them. Realistically most clinics would employ a Japanese national over a foreigner.

Going to Japan to find a job doing shiatsu is kind of like going to Hawaii to teach hula- it's a native art and there is a large supply of practitioners already, no need to import them.
