If she is familiar with Western way of Valentines Day, it is OK send your gift to her. If not, send on White Day, ONLY in case you received chocolate or something from her on Valentines Day. (White Day is considered to be "returning day")
It is not a good idea to send food from overseas to Japan as customs and quarantine for food is very strict in Japan. I might suggest flowers instead. It is easy on the web site like teleflora or florist com etc and no need to worry about shipping or customs clearance or even quarantine. I am sure girls love flowers and you can affix your message.

Well, actually, on Valentine's Day in Japan, the GIRL is the one who is supposed to give to the boy. She is supposed to give him chocolates. This can be to a boy she likes, but also co-workers.
Then, March 14 (one month after Valentine's Day), boys are supposed to give girls white chocolate. Many boys just remember which girls gave them chocolate and then return the favor.
But, if you want to send her something in the mail, chocolate may not be a good idea. Boxed cookies might be better. Jewelry is also nice and easy to ship. I think any thoughtful gift will do, as long as you include a letter. The letter is often the best parts of packages from friends (and lovers) who live far away.

Valentine's day in Japan is not what you celebrate in the western world. A Japanese chocolate company introduced it in a different way for marketing purposes. It is considered a day for girls to show their love to boys. Girls with boyfriends will give "real" chocolates to their boyfriends. There are also girls that give away "giri" choco, to severqal men which is just a small gift to celebrate valentines day.

I highly agree with Rabbityama.
You should send a letter to her with a gift. Girls always love to read letters from their boyfriends.
