#It would be easier to stay in Japan.

Can you assure me that it is easier because you have a permanent residence in Japan, Mr. Showa Ototsan ？?

I think that Reinstate is something you apply for when your GC has expired （ and you have been abroad for more than the Re-entry Permit period ）, not when you have given up your GC. I think there is a possibility that you may not be able to get it.

Once you give up, it is a new GC application, so for now, I think you should apply for Reinstate when you can no longer get Re-entry Permit and your GC is not renewed or becomes invalid.　

A permanent resident (called lawful permanent resident or LPR) or conditional resident (CR) who has remained outside the United States for longer than one year, or beyond the validity period of a Re-entry Permit, will require a new immigrant visa to enter the United States and resume permanent residence.

Since Topi seems to be wondering what to do
it would be faster to get US citizenship and "permanent resident" status in Japan.

I don't mind since I returned my green card to the US.

＞ #2 Showa Ototto
＞ It would be easier to get citizenship, become a US citizen and stay in Japan.

If you have time to spare, it might be better to get US citizenship. There are several types of residency status in Japan, and in some ways they are not as binding as US permanent residency.
As a former Japanese national, and since the consultant's parents are Japanese, as a child of Japanese nationals, it should be easy to be granted residency for a certain period of time, not for work purposes
but to care for the parents.
We recommend that you contact the relevant authorities to confirm this.　
There have been many cases like this in recent years.

Misguided advice to be a citizen when your base is a GC guy. Always.

I wonder if a green card is worth it to live in the US.
If I go back to Japan without taking care of my family for a while,
I have to think about whether I can come back to the US in a year.

If you are returning to Japan to care for your parents without setting a time limit and then returning to the U.S. again, I think it would be best to first obtain U.S. citizenship and then stay in Japan with a permanent residence permit, as recommended by Showa Ototsuan. Once you let your green card lapse, it may be difficult to get it again. （ I don't have any experience with this, so I don't know for sure. ）
I am a citizenship holder （ I became a citizen about 15 years ago ） but I returned to Japan about 10 years ago for the purpose of returning permanently. At that time, I first entered Japan with a short-term （ 3-year ） visa and applied for a permanent residence permit after entering the country, which was granted in about a year. I remember that I did all the procedures by myself and it was not so difficult. However, after 4 years, I decided that I could not live in Japan and came back to the US. （ I now live in Hawaii ）
From my experience, I believe that Japanese immigration control is kinder to "ex-Japanese" and not as strict as the US green card system. I think it is advantageous for U.S. citizens to travel between Japan and the U.S. in situations where the length of stay is not very predictable. However, it depends on when you return to Japan, and whether you will be able to obtain citizenship by then. In my case, I remember it was about a year after I applied. （ It was quite a while ago, so I am not too sure. ）

America is no longer a place to make your bones, and it's not getting any better. You shouldn't get American citizenship.
