Shujaa, who had lost 12-5 to Ireland to blow a glorious chance of sneaking into the quarters as one of the two best third-place teams, scored their tries through Alvin "Buffa" Otieno, Jeffrey Oluoch, and skipper Andrew Amonde.
Japan had taken an early 7-0 lead in the match before the winless Kenyans turned on the screw to pick their first victory in the Tokyo Games.
Kenya needed a win against Ireland having lost their first two matches against the USA and South Africa on Monday. However, it was not to be as they failed to secure the win in an underwhelming performance at the Tokyo Olympic Stadium.
The Shujaa finished last in pool C on three points with South Africa, the USA, and Ireland occupying the top three positions.
Australia and Canada advanced to the quarter-finals as the two best third-placed finishers.
