I saw Godzilla Minus One recently and wow, that hit close to home. My mother grew up in post-war Japan and had the whole survivor guilt thing. Nearly tossed herself off a bridge.

Throne of Blood (1957)

It’s Macbeth, but in feudal Japan. One of the best films I’ve ever seen. I’m constantly reminded of it while watching Shōgun.

I like sci-fi and fantasy films, too, but most of the Japanese ones that come to mind are very well known already, so I’ll include some other stuff as well:

Seven Samurai (1954)

The Castle of Cagliostro (1979)

Tampopo (1985)

Minbo (1992)

Shall We Dance? (1996)

After Life (1998)

Spirited Away (2001)

5 Centimeters per Second (2007)

Your Name is one of my most favourite films, it’s about bodyswapping.

Evangelion 1-4 are incredible sci-fi, but the TV series it’s based on is arguably superior (or at least, should really be watched first).

Shin Ultraman is very fun if you like campy live action sci-fi.
