Can I go to Japan on a tourist visa while waiting for my student visa?

So I applied for a Japanese language school and right now I am waiting for the school to accept the application. I was wondering if I could take a trip there for 90 days while waiting for the school to accept me and send the CoE which will take basically about that timeframe. They’re reviewing my application and plan to send it to the school which will take about a week or 2, if the school has any questions it’ll probably take around 4 weeks, and then I have no clue how long the Japanese immigration process would be.

I am asking this because I don’t know if it would mess of my student visa process. Would it seem suspicious and would they reject my student visa over it? My plan if I can stay in Japan while they process everything is once they finally send the CoE over I can return to the US and be able to get my visa then go directly back over after packing everything I need. If not I’ll just stay put and study over here.
