Many times in the past, minor children have entered Japan ・ short term with only a US passport.

After the pandemic, there was a time when you could only enter Japan with a Japanese passport （ Japanese nationality ） but
now you can enter normally with an American passport.
In fact, last summer, I entered Japan with an American passport to use the JR Pass, and had no problem.

The only difference between the two passports is whether you have to wait in line for Japanese nationals or foreigners （ or visitors ） at the immigration checkpoint at the airport.
The only other difference is that every time I go to the airport, I am told by the airport staff, "Next time, please enter the country with a Japanese passport. I don't know why, but I am usually told that every time.


For your information.

Thank you very much for your prompt advice, Showa Ototto-san and Pasupo-san. 😃

＞ Speaking of differences in passports, I am also concerned about the difference between waiting in line for Japanese nationals （ or foreigners ） visitors
at immigration at the airport This is also a concern, and I would like my accompanying adult （ uncle, from his perspective We decided to have the foreign （ visitor ） queue with an American ） who is an uncle in his own right.
My siblings and I, another Japanese national with an unexpired Japanese passport, got in the Japanese line to enter Japan.

I feel much better now. Again, thank you very much for your helpful information.
