Wondering if possible to get a student visa through applying for language school again after many previous absences

I apologize if this the wrong place to ask this. Hello, I was once a student in Tokyo intending to stay enrolled for 2 years. I am very fortunate to have a family willing to fund my stay in japan but as we all have our own issues I was unwilling to live in a dorm due to past experience but was pushed by family to live in a dorm and as ridiculous as this sounds it set me up for disaster and led to me missing many weeks of attendance and eventually leaving japan 5 months in my trip. I was not kicked out of japan, I let the school know I was leaving and did the procedure for departure and my school was aware of my situation and very kind to me and my teachers even wished for my return. I've been told Japanese immigration was very strict when it comes to student visas, especially renewals. But I was hoping for opinions on if I should attempt to reapply for a student visa or forget about it.

Optional information: I was never a bad student and kept to myself and would arrive an hour early each day I did attend class. I was not avoiding class to mess around during my stay
