Dual citizen applying to renew Japanese passport, low on time

My family booked a flight for me to go to Japan on December 3rd. My American passport should be coming by mail before then but I haven’t even applied to renew my Japanese passport yet. I was going to apply by mail and then pick it up at the consulate in New York City. But I’m panicking because I was told on the phone that the process takes two weeks, and I don’t have much time, it’s cutting it very close. I’m considering making an appointment to apply there in person, but I don’t know how much quicker that would be. Does anyone else have experience with this? What are my best options?
