After piling on the pressure, Japan pulled level in the 59th minute through Mizuki Ando, who slotted home with a clever finish.
But England were awarded another penalty 12 minutes from the end when Yugo Tatsuta fouled Demetri Mitchell, with Martell Taylor-Crossdale stepping up to convert the winner.
