Heard something about Nikkei Visas

So I’ve been researching for about a day and from what I’ve gathered, the Ministry of Justice has a Visa policy for fourth generation Japanese descendants. The visa seems to be a 5 year visa and there doesn’t seem to be a limit on what you can do during your stay.

But I’ve been trying to figure out how this whole process works and how to prove it. My great grandmother is a first generation Japanese National that immigrated to the states back in the 1960’s, I heard that you need a Koseki (Or a Registry of Records if that’s what it is) with proof that she was a citizen at one point and to prove I am of Japanese Descent (Even though it’d make me 1/8th)

Just trying to figure out how this whole visa process works, how long it takes, the logistics of it (such as if I need to call certain numbers in Japan or if I have to go there in person to apply for the visa)
