Each of our political parties elect a leader orreaffirm their current leader at a party convention. When an election is called each party leader runs in their own riding and nation wide. After the votes are in, each riding counts the ballots and the win goes to the person with the most votes. At the end the party with the most elected candidates wins and the leader of that party becomes Prime Minister. The leader of the party with the second most votes becomes the Leader of the Official Opposition.

Do people vote to decide who governs japan?

People do not elect their Prime Ministers, they elect their representatives--members of the House of Representatives and House of Councillors--the members of the two houses then vote on a Prime Minister. It usually is the president of the political party that holds the majority. Prime Ministers in Japan do not have term limits either. People vote for political parties. If one candidate wins in the upper house, the house of councillors and another wins in the lower house, the house of representatives, the results of the lower house stands, and that candidate for Prime Minister is elected.
