Documents required for a visa for Japan:
A consular visa for Japan is filed with the diplomatic post accredited for Azerbaijan, or with the application centre that post has appointed.
Then the application goes to the post accredited for Azerbaijan, often in a neighbouring capital, or to a state acting on its behalf. Confirm which post is competent with the official source before travelling to a third country to apply, a rejected file at the wrong counter costs the trip and the fee.
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Azerbaijan but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.
