Yuya Fujita, 21, reportedly told police that he lobbed the smoke bombs "in a protest against China", local media said.
Fujita, who identifies himself as a construction worker and a member of a political activism group, turned himself in to a nearby police station soon after the Monday night incident, a police spokesman said.
No one was injured in the incident, police said.
