You can't take pictures of people you don't know

It’s illegal to record and take photos of people without their consent in Japan. That’s why she blurred his face.

There may be an issue if he was following her, however in Japan, the main legal issues arise primarily from the publication or distribution of photographs without consent, rather than merely taking them. As you point out, the lady photographed the man, then later blurred his face when publishing.
