Hi realjapanesegreentea,
I think your snail is Euhadra peliomphala, but I am not 100% sure. Wikipedia says that the species "exhibits exceptional geographical variation". In inaturalist, there are many variations shown under this species' name. So, I think it might help if you would like to take a look at them. I hope that my ID Suggestion is correct because, according to Wikipedia, Euhadra peliomphala is endemic to Japan. Nice spotting!
