Entering Japan with a copy of family register and U.S. passport

Problem / Need advice

I have to return to Japan urgently and my one year old child, who has an American passport but no Japanese passport.
I called the Japanese immigration office and they said that I could enter Japan with an American passport and a copy of my family register.
Since the immigration office said this, it must be correct, but I have never heard of such a thing before, so if anyone has any experience with this, I would appreciate it if you could let me know. By the way, they asked me to show them my family register to enter the country as a Japanese since I need a visa to enter with an American passport because of the Corona disaster. I am sorry to be a mere worrier, but thank you in advance.

Thank you ！
I called both ANA and JAL and they confirmed
that there is no problem to check in at the airport with only US passport with a copy of family register ！
Entry Administration says it's fine, so it looks like I will be able to enter the country without any problem.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you very much for your help.

？
I think there is a difference between being able to board ANA and being able to enter the country
Don't you know the news about people being turned away recently ？
I would get a Japanese visa for my kids
Well, I made my own decision. Well, it's your decision.

I checked with the consulate and they said I can't get a visa because I am Japanese. I was told by a Japanese administrative scrivener that I should be able to get it...#13 have you obtained a visa to enter Japan before ？

I called the immigration office and they said
I can enter Japan with my family register, so it seems no problem.

Check in at the airport - check with the airport, no problem boarding
Entering Japan - check with the immigration office, no problem entering Japan

So it looks like I can return to Japan this way, which both sides say is fine.

Also, the above is yesterday's information, and the Corona Disaster has no change so far.

〉If I were you, I would get a Japanese visa for the kids

It would take a long time to get a visa.
By the way, what visa do you think you can get ？.

Check-in at the airport - checked with the airport and no boarding problems
--Checked with the airline and they made a mistake, sorry ！
Both airlines called the person in charge at the check-in counter to confirm.

They said that the family register was sent from Japan when I renewed my passport here, and that it was valid since it was issued within 6 months.
