Official wording
Austria (Note 8)…Germany (Note 8)…Ireland (Note 8)…Liechtenstein (Note 8)…Mexico (Note 8)…Switzerland (Note 8)…United Kingdom (Note 8)…The period of stay granted upon landing permission will be "15 days" for Indonesia and Thailand, “30 days” for Brunei and Qatar, and "90 days" for other countries and regions.…(Note 8) For nationals of those countries with visa exemptions permitting stays of up to 6 months under the bilateral visa exemption arrangements, those who wish to stay in Japan for more than 90 days are required to apply for an extension of the period of stay to the Ministry of Justice (Regional Immigration Bureau) before the period of permitted stay is to expire.
Aevamo’s reading
The Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act, Article 6(1), is the provision that imposes the requirement on an alien landing in Japan to hold a valid passport bearing a Japanese consular visa and creates the exemption for passports covered by an international agreement or a notification to foreign governments. The MOFA list (mofa-novisa) records which countries the notification-based exemption currently covers; it reports the exemption rather than creating the obligation.
The passage names each note-8 issuer in the exemption table and quotes note 8, which states that nationals of these countries may stay up to 6 months under the bilateral visa-exemption arrangements while stays beyond 90 days require an extension application to the Ministry of Justice before the permitted stay expires; the 90-day landing grant is the initial entitlement and the extension route is recorded as a condition.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
