If anyone has a dual nationality who has recently returned to Japan, please let me know.
Until now ( before Corona ) I did the following.

To purchase tickets, enter US passport information as an American
Show US passport at ticket counter ( Show Japanese passport if asked )
To enter Japan, show Japanese passport
< When returning to the US >
Show your US passport at the ticket counter
Show your Japanese passport when leaving Japan
Show your US passport when entering the US

But in the Corona Disaster, Americans need a visa.
So I have to do many procedures as a Japanese.
Is the following method sufficient?

To buy ticket, enter Japanese passport information as Japanese
Show Japanese passport at ticket counter
To enter Japan, show Japanese passport
< When coming back to US >
Show your US passport at the ticket counter ( ? Even though you purchased with a Japanese passport ? )
Show your Japanese passport when leaving Japan
Show your US passport when entering the US

If I am wrong, I would be very grateful if you could point it out.
I am trying to call the airline, but the waiting time is too long and I can't get through.
Thank you very much.

I think you will be fine as you have been.
I don't know if I can be of any help since I have never been back since the corona disaster ・ ・ ・.

Now foreigners need a visa to enter Japan, so they will have to enter and leave with a Japanese passport.
When you come back to the U.S., check in with your US passport, and I think you can do the same when you enter the U.S.

> It was interesting to read that some people always get upset when it comes to dual citizenship.
I really agree with you.
I don't know why they get so pissed off when they are not bothering anyone ?
On the contrary, I want to support Japanese people who have dual citizenship.
In addition to the current declining birthrate, it is a loss to the Japanese nation when talented Japanese go abroad and lose their Japanese citizenship once they own the nationality of that country.
75% of countries around the world allow dual citizenship.
In this global society, when I see consulates that still do not recognize dual citizenship and are desperate to take away Japanese citizenship, as well as numerous critical comments, I am saddened to see that the Japanese people still have deep-rooted island-nation roots.
However, I believe that Japan will come to recognize dual citizenship in less than 10 years.

I know there will be those who will say "Oh well", but please think of it as a whisper in the wind and get over it with ease.
Please don't ever sign the notice of loss of Japanese nationality !
I support you wholeheartedly.

Please have a safe trip to Japan ~ !

# Consulates are trying hard to take away Japanese citizenship
If the Japanese people don't obey the law, I guess the consulates will take the lead in obeying the law.

If the consulate says, "You have dual citizenship, yes, we will issue you a passport with no problem,"
the people will not obey the law, the consulate will not obey the law, there is no law at all,
even if you kill someone in downtown, it is not guilty by self-defense, it is a mess.

I also think that one day Japan should allow dual citizenship.

> Consulates are trying hard to take away Japanese citizenship

but this ↑ is different ~. Consulate officials don't make the laws. They are simply doing what they are told by the MOFA
to do. And that's what consulates are supposed to do.

That is correct. But one of the things they are doing in a casual manner is probably the need to enforce

Japanese law on those living abroad who are violating Japanese law.

If you have two passports, just use your Japanese passport and go back to your country. You are all snickering about dual citizenship. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and consulates will only try to take away your nationality in cases where you took it later with citizenship.
Why not just use your remaining passport differently? You can't renew it next time.
After that, renunciation of nationality is on an individual basis.
On the other hand, Naomi Osaka's case became a hot topic. It has solved the concerns of many dual nationals and their parents who have both American and Japanese citizenship.
Naomi Osaka declared her "choice of Japanese nationality" by the time she reached the age of 22, so her dual nationality is now officially recognized. This is because she is working to renounce her foreign nationality indefinitely.

By declaring her selection of Japanese nationality, , she has fulfilled her obligation to select nationality under Article 14, Paragraph 1 of the Nationality Law , but , whether she naturally loses her foreign nationality by this declaration of selection depends on the system of that foreign country. For those who have the nationality of a foreign country whose legislation does not allow for the loss of nationality upon this declaration of choice, , after this declaration of choice , they must strive to renounce that foreign nationality ( ) Article 16, paragraph 1 of the Nationality Act .

In the U.S., since multiple nationalities are allowed, one only has to "make efforts to renounce" and can stay as a dual national if left alone. Incidentally, the consulate has no right to refuse to issue a Japanese passport to a person who is in the process of declaring his/her choice. You can renew your passport for the rest of your life while you are in the process of making your choice.
