How are you sure the memories aren't from a past life? Many religions and practices believe in reincarnation so what about these memories makes it seem like it's not possibility this isn't the case for you here? If you are absolutely certain it isn't a case of a past life than the only thing I could say which still involves reincarnation is in my practice sometimes parts of souls of another individual are more less grafted onto a new soul so that could be it. Taking reincarnation completely out of the picture the only other thing I could surmise is somehow your consciousness is connecting with that of another person, why or how I could not rightly say. That's something you'd have to analyze about yourself more deeply. Do you have anything from Japan you own or keep in your house? What were you doing when you started recalling these memories? Had anything significant happened close to that time?

Well I have to ask some additional questions first to before I could properly formulate my theory specifically in regards to your situation. First when you experienced these memories were you awake or was in dream? Second what sort of perspective are you looking for specifically? In general in most traditions reincarnation is pretty straightforward. A person dies their soul is reborn in a new form. Some believe that form can be another person or an animal or even a plant or mineral. Some believe it's only as a new human. I'm of the latter opinion personally but regardless in either case the soul retains memories of past lives and in rare cases an individual might recall them. It's especially rare for that to happen spontaneously like it did for you though if it was a case of reincarnation. In my personal practice the only added complexity is that the soul isn't just a uniform thing there are several parts to it you could say the soul has it's own anatomy and that's where the grafting of part of one soul to another can occur. This is also incredibly rare as well though and the only reason it might be unlikely in your case is usually when that happens there's a very specific reason why that happens and again your situation seems a bit random.

The mechanics and details of how human lives are connected at the layer of atman / qualia feels more and more complex and perplexing to me the more I engage with the topic. Simplistic views of reincarnation feel more like a symbol / a simplified story pointing to a complex reality at this point, like a child's drawing of a house. No house looks like that, but we know what it means.

I think the best approach to such memories and impinging experiences is to try to figure out what exactly they could imply, and what is happening in the situation. To treat it as an investigation. Your views will change and evolve anyway, make this into an opportunity.

It’s real strange. I remember that we lived in like a really low end apartment and then something happened like as I was walking through and it just like I’m not too sure trying to recall it right now is making me tear up a little. I’m not too sure why.
