Really, applying for a visa is done either by having a company arrange it all for you, or you put in the leg work and arrange it yourself. The latter is often called self-sponsoring yourself, but in reality, it's the same as getting a company to prepare the application. Many think that a work visa and a self-sponsored visa are different things, but they are not. It just depends on who will go through the efforts of lodging all the documentation.

You mentioned that I can consult the immigration office about this.. would it be wise going there now on a tourist visa asking them how to self-sponsor myself?

Certainly would be. Nothing wrong with doing this at all. Just give them a call, it will be faster.
At a high level view, basically all immigration wants to see is that you have work lined up and are required in Japan to work and provide a service. For that they will issue you a work visa.
