Nah CBT definitely has a presence in Japan and is officially acknowledged. Search 認知行動療法 and translate the results. There's sites from the government and hospitals explaining what it is and how to get treatment. There's also some hospitals offering DBT if you look up 弁証法的行動療法, but it seems less commonly available than CBT.
As with anything else about Japan, English sources tend to be about a decade out of date at best and wild hearsay passed off as fact at worst.
