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 table entries name Barbados, Türkiye and Lesotho, note 7 states their exemption applies only to ICAO machine-readable passports, and the period sentence grants 90 days to listed countries other than Indonesia, Thailand, Brunei and Qatar; these three are therefore visa-free for 90 days for MRP holders, with the passport condition recorded.

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.
