Japan for Up to 10 years?

You have it backwards. The other answer already lists the visa validity of three months, extendable by a further three months once for the residents of certain countries, including the UK.
What I am assuming you may be referring to is another requirement to be eligible: your passport must be valid when you intend to leave the country. Meaning, if your passport expires on the 1st June, you cannot enter Japan on 1st May and expect to stay a full three months, you will have to leave by the end of your passport validity.
Between the length of the landing permit and the passport validity, the shorter length counts.
Side note: unlike some other countries which require a passport valid for 3 or 6 months longer than the end of your visa period, Japan accepts passports with a shorter validity. That might be what the site you were looking at was emphasising.

No, this is totally wrong, the absolute maximum you can stay without a visa is 6 months as a British Citizen
Japan's MOFA states :
Period of Stay
The period of stay granted at the time of the landing permission will be "15 days" for Indonesia, and Thailand, “14 days” for Brunei, "30 days" for United Arab Emirates and "90 days" for other countries and regions.
But the UK allows Japanese citizens to enter for 6 months, so you can, as a British Citizen, apply so that you can stay 6 months visa-free in Japan.
(Note 8) For nationals of those countries with visa exemptions permitting stays of up to 6 months under the bilateral visa exemption arrangements, those who wish to stay in Japan for more than 90 days are required to apply for an extension of the period of stay to the Ministry of Justice (Regional Immigration Bureau) before the period of permitted stay is to expire.
This also applies to citizens of
- Mexico
- Austria
- Germany
- Ireland
- Lichtenstein
- Switzerland
