Permanent residency after returning home

Please let me know if you know of any.

I am currently considering returning to Japan. I know that I can return to Japan and still receive Social Security in Japan after retiring from the US, but what will happen to my permanent residency?

1 . Can I still receive Social Security in Japan even if I give up my permanent residence?
2 . If I want to keep my Permanent Resident status, do I have to return ? to the US once a year?
3 . If I stay in Japan without doing anything, will I automatically lose my permanent resident status?
4 . I have heard that the permanent resident status remains the same unless I voluntarily renounce it, but
if I eventually come back here with the permanent resident status after 5 or 10 years ( if I am still alive and well ) can I come back
with that permanent resident status? Can I come back with that permanent residency 。。。。

I am considering returning to Japan to care for my parents, but after they pass away, if I am still healthy, I would like to come back to the US. I would like to receive the pension in Japan, but I am wondering what will happen to my permanent residence after that... I have so many questions. If anyone knows anything about this, I would appreciate it if you could tell me.

If you lose your Permanent Resident status, you can still get Social Security in Japan. Call 800-772-1213 8am - 7pm, M-F or visit Social security administration 20000 Mariner ave 150 Torrance CA 90503. If you don't want to pay 30% tax, you need to file a non-residential return with the IRS when you leave. 
2. You must reside in the US for at least 180 days per year to be eligible for permanent residence. If you file a special application, you do not have to return for 2 years, but you can only apply for that twice, 2 years and 2 years only.
3. permanent resident status expires naturally if you have not resided in the U.S. for more than 180 days.
4. I have seen children taken to a separate room at immigration, even if their residence abroad was only a few days past 180 days.

The point is that permanent residence is valid because you are living there, so if you are not living there, as others have said, we recommend that you get US citizenship and then return to Japan. And in Japan, you should live as a foreigner. Once you have applied for U.S. citizenship after having returned to Japan for a long time with a special application, there is a contradiction and also you cannot apply for U.S. citizenship immediately, so I think it is better to get citizenship from the beginning to avoid problems. The current citizenship is a corona issue, and it will take a year and a half to get it, and I will be able to get it in March next year.

Americans can stay in Japan for 90 days without a visa, but I have heard that it currently takes about 4 months to get an alien residence permit in Japan, so I would recommend that you apply for one while you are in the US. You should also switch to a Japanese driver's license immediately after you return to your home country, since you will not be exempt from the technical exam if you don't do so immediately.

Exemption from the technical examination is for holders of an expired Japanese driver's license.

If you can stay 90 days without visa
before going to Japan
prepare now for measures to stay more than 90 days after entering Japan.
