There is a ferry from Korsakav on Sakhalin island to Wakkanai on Hokkaido island.
I know foreigners have gone to Russia from Japan on that ferry. I do not know anyone who has come R to J. But I think it is possible
Ferry is run by Higashi Nihonkai Ferry (Japanese company)

You may have problems with Japanese customs because you need a special paper to go with your carnet. And the nearest office to get that paper is Sapporo (a day by bus from Wakkanai).
Or you can try without carnet:

This is technically possible, but I don't know anyone who actually did it. You can try!
When will you arrive in Japan? I will be in Wakkanai for a friend's wedding party first week in September.
