I got my first place in Japan…
I got told this was a gas stove (1st pic), but I have no idea how to work them. I cannot clean off the dirt on it either, but anyway – every other gas stove surface I’ve seen has looked different. (2nd pic)

So, help a lost foreigner out. What do I do with this? Can I just buy an electric stove instead?

That’s a gas stove stand. You need to buy a cooktop gas stove like this: https://amzn.asia/d/5HDQXCX Search for ガスコンムonline or at a nearby appliances shop.
You could buy an electric stove, but presumably you don’t have a 200V electric plug in your kitchen so cooking will be quite slow and annoying.
As was said, that’s where a gas stove goes. You can get some disposable covers to hide that grime, and a lot of stores that sell them will likely install a gas stove if you buy one.
Three birds with one stone, if you intend to cook.
Sorry you made me laugh. Make sure to get someone pro to install new stove for you. And confirm the type of gas. Usually there is sticker on the wall like 13A.
While some people still see this;
I’ve been warned about gas (I come from a country where the use of gas is NOT common) and I’ve heard some horror stories. Anything you guys can share to calm me down?
