Foreigner needing an ITIN for foreign wife. CAA Recommendations and Feasibility?

TL;DR: My wife, a resident of the Philippines, needs an ITIN for joint tax filing. Opting for a Certified Acceptance Agent in Japan due to passport mailing hassles.

My wife, residing in the Philippines, needs an ITIN for joint tax filing since she has no income. Due to the long-distance situation while waiting for our visa, she can’t apply in the US with me and there is only one in the entire country of PH. Mailing physical passports for application is inconvenient, so we prefer a Certified Acceptance Agent (CAA) to assist with the W7 ITIN application. Japan’s official list has a few CCAs, and we plan to visit during our vacation to apply. Any recommendations on the friendliest one for foreigners? We’re willing to answer questions but concerned about dealing with Japanese business, as it seems very intimidating not understanding any Japanese and not being Japanese residents of any kind.
