Working holiday visa in passport but wanting to visit on tourist visa first

(Qualifier: I live in Japan )

This is common. Just ask at immigration for a regular visitor visa, explain that you want to use the WH later. Maybe put a post-it note over the WH visa and write まだ on it (means "not yet").

I know a number of people have accomplished this by flying to nearby Seoul between when their tourist visa ends and their work visa begins. Fly there a couple of days before your work visa begins, have a short stay there, and then arrange your dates so that you re-enter Japan when your work visa is valid.

Not sure if this is a reasonable option for you, but it is a guaranteed way of doing this.
