I've had a Japanese bank reject my JPY payment from an overseas bank.

I wasn't told the reason, and couldn't track down a way to query it, let
alone fill in the paperwork, or provide the extra information, that
presumably someone wanted (I wasn't in Japan at the time - this may have
been 2020). My sending bank still charged their bank charges of course.
