I retired a few yrs ago and wanted to travel to Japan for long periods of 90 days + 90 days. I lived in Tokyo for 10 yrs after college and speak the language so no problems. I'm a US citizen and wanting to visit friends throughout Japan and enjoy my retirement. What would be the best way to plan for this type of duration in Japan, after Covid19 vaccine?

The best thing to do is contact the Japanese consulate and ask if you fullfill the conditions of any long term visa.
A quick search, however, reveals one that may suit your purpose:
- Designated activities (Long Stay for sightseeing and recreation)
- 6 months, renewable up to 12 months
The linked page describes the further financial and health insurance requirements.
When it becomes clear when you want to go, you will probably have to submit the application in person at the responsible consulate.
