I just did this, less than two weeks ago. I dropped my application off at 1:30 pm and picked it up at 9:30 the next morning.

You should ask the girl at the counter what is the earliest time you can pick up your visa. Because I picked mine up at 9:30 am, I was able to make it on the 1:40 pm flight. You can drop off between 9:30 & 11:30, then between 1:30 and 4 pm. Pick up is the same time.

But it all depends on whether they are able to process it in that amount of time. Which they USUALLY are able to do, no problem. But if you drop it off at 3:59 then I don't know if you can realistically expect it to be finished by 9:31 the next morning.

You may want to call the Osaka embassy/consulate and ask them before you book your flight. The girl who processes the visas speaks English pretty well.
