Here is the page from the Japanese embassy in Qatar telling you how to apply for a tourist visa. Clicking on the "Foreign resident tourist staying in a hotel"1 link will give you the requirements for a someone who is not a Qatar citizen applying from Qatar.
You need to provide:
- ORIGINAL Passport (more than 3 months validity)
- 1 Passport Copy (the pages of status items)
- Visa Application Form
- Photo
- ORIGINAL Covering Letter from Employer in Qatar or Employee Certificate
- Hotel Reservation (for the period of stay)
- 1 Copy of Flight booking(entire trip)
- 1 Copy of Qatar ID. Card
- Schedule of stay in Japan
- Bank Statement for the last 6 months
- Copy of the previous Visa (Japan, America, Schengen etc.) if you have any
There is no mention of an income tax return.
There is also no mention of a minimum amount of money, as costs for trips vary according to your length of stay and your itinerary. You will need to demonstrate not just that you have a certain amount of money in your account, but that your earnings and spendings are such that it makes financial sense for you to take an expensive vacation.
Notes
- That means someone who is a resident of Qatar but not a Qatar citizen, and will be visiting Japan for tourist purposes and staying in a hotel or similar accommodation, not staying with friends or relatives.
