What people don't understand about the Japan age of consent being 13 is that it's not the same as it is 16 is most of the US. Age of consent in Japan only applies to other people in that age group. It is still illegal in Japan for an adult to have sex with someone under 18. It's only legal if both are under 18 in Japan.
