If my COE has been approved for March 2024, can I enter Japan around November of this year to view apartments and housing beforehand as a tourist? (My country doesn’t need a visa as a tourist)
And then enter Japan again in March 2024 after getting the Visa.

Yes, although generally a CoE is only valid for 3 months after being issued. Don’t forget you’d need a valid CoE and a valid visa. The CoE by itself is not enough.
