Special VISA arrangements are given to stranded foreign nationals due to COVID-19.

Unlike other government approvals, VISA & immigration control for foreign nationals are different in nature. The most significant difference is the exclusion from the Administrative Procedure Act (1994-) which aims to improve the transparency of administrative procedures. In consequence, whether such approvals will be granted or not is left to the discretion of the Minister of Justice. The judgment criteria are not disclosed to the public. A black box so to speak. What makes it even worse is that they tend to change depending on interpretation of each of the immigration bureau offices, the officer in charge, and the government policy which reflects news and current affairs. For instance, when you apply for a working VISA, a statement of reasons and other proof documents will have to to be attached to the application, but there is no official guidance as to what the content should be. Most precisely the content should be decided taking all aspects into consideration for each individual case. Hence, it is no wonder VISA applications are often disapproved. Keep trying until it passes is not a good strategy as that would not give a favorable impression to the immigration offcers.
If your VISA application is actually rejected, you may have to leave the country immediately depending on your current period of stay. In order to prevent such risks, it is safe and smart to leave it to professionals.
