In general, I'd recommend Junya Nakano's pieces. Nakano is more well known for his percussive work and skill with rhythmic pieces, but he has done a fair number of ambient pieces (that often have a strong rhythmic quality). A few gems that I can think of right now include "Ripples on Mind" from Another Mind. A few selected tracks from FF10 are in this vein as well, such as "Underwater Remains".
A fairly well known Japanese composer (actually, some would say infamous) who does a lot of ambient work is Naoshi Mizuta. His Parasite Eve II soundtrack has a very strong sense of disquietude with its moody and acoustic stylings.
Some of Yoshitaka Hirota's tracks are wonderfully atmospheric, like "Deep Meditation" from Shadow Hearts II. But these are quite few and far between, really.
If you prefer more beautiful ambient songs, you could try out Jeremy Soule's Icewind Dale soundtrack. The soundtrack has mostly mood-setting pieces of the orchestral nature. I's also recommend Mark Morgan but I'm sure you're already familiar with Morgan from his work on Zork Nemesis and Zork: Grand Inquisitor.
Anachronox has some really nice mood setting pieces you might be interested in, like the tracks that play in Limbus, Sender Station, Sunder and a selected few from Hephaestus (e.g. Hephtower).
Jam it back in, in the dark.
I think therefore I am... I think.
