Japan is the worst place for renewable. Very limited surface with a very high price for solar. For onshore wind japan is too densely populated, or too hilly. And for offshore wind the coast sink too quickly to be feasible except floatable except it is largely unproven and not a good match with typhoon in Japan.
Nuclear is still the best hope for a decarbonized electricity generation in Japa.

Besides that Japan is also facing a problem where they have most of their population already lives in urban areas, with rapid depopulation of rural areas. Realistically the ability to build wind and solar farms as they age should get easier and easier as the land depopulates.
