There are also places that won’t rent to foreigners

What’s the biggest hurdle with moving there?

hard to land a job unless you have a job and chose to work in the japanese branch there or have considerably helped japan financially (aka rich). you also must renounce your citizenship with your previous country (which is a huge dealbreaker in cases)

They don’t want you, basically, and the laws reflect that.

Not OP, but I live in Asia and am sporadically changing countries. Japan either requires you to have a job offer prior to moving, or show sufficient funds to live there indefinitely (around 2k USD/month; though that won’t get you far in Tokyo for example). Remote work does not qualify, it’s either a domestic job or income from pension or investments.
After 10 years of living there legally you qualify for a residence permit.
The alternative would be through marriage.
