I would like to know how to get back to Japan as soon as possible with my son (Japanese passport expired, US passport still valid) after his mother in Japan was diagnosed with an incurable disease. I have tried to make an appointment through the Los Angeles Consulate website, but no one can make an appointment until the end of April, and no matter how many times I call, I cannot get through. I believe that a consulate is only supposed to deal with us, Japanese citizens living abroad in California.
I would like to know from all of you how to handle cases like mine and my son's.
Please help us.

Consulate people are really helpful or unfriendly, depending on the person.

I found this information on the consulate's website.
A "travel document for return" is issued in lieu of a passport in case of an urgent need to return to Japan. It will cease to be valid upon your return to Japan. It is not valid for entry into any other country.

If it's a child, there's no problem with dual citizenship, so you could enter the country with either passport.

My daughter also had to return to Japan with only an American passport because her Japanese passport did not arrive in time.

At LAX and at the airport in Japan, we had to show our daughter's birth certificate.

Since we were planning to stay in Japan for a long time, we were issued an entry permit ？ or a Japan stay permit ？ at the Japanese airport. It took about an hour at the airport.

It seems you don't need one if you stay in Japan for a short time.

After entering Japan, I sent a copy of my family register to the airport to get an entry permit.

I was able to return ！

I needed my US birth certificate at LAX and at the Japanese airport to confirm parent-child relationship.
After returning to Japan, I ordered a copy of my family register or something else from the city office and sent it to the airport in Japan.
