The move came as the two countries share a battle of words over an island chain that both claim.
Ships from both sides have faced off in the area of the islands, in the East China Sea.
Last week Chinese vessels crossed the line considered to be Japanese territorial waters.
Japan's protest of the crossing was rejected by Beijing.
Amabassador Uichiro Niwa publicly expressed concerns that Japan was escalating a situation they couldn't win, which sparked calls for his resignation.
Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba commented on a meeting with Niwa saying, "I again instructed him to accurately convey Japan's thinking".
Niwa is now expected to return to China within the next couple days.
