Re-entry for foreigners is possible with circumstances are specified on Ministry of Justice

Foreigners living in Japan may be able to re-enter, especially when there are humanitarian circumstances. The Ministry of Justice added such a notice to the homepage (HP) regarding the immigration control measures taken by the government to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus. The reason for the improvement was the question of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives.

            Kazunori Inoue, the party of hope, pointed out at a committee meeting on the 22nd of last month that he feared that foreigners living in Japan would not be able to re-enter the country, and even temporarily gave up on returning home even if their relatives died. Until now, re-entry was possible if humanitarian circumstances were recognized, but Mr. Inoue sought improvement if he could read that he could not re-entry in the current HP explanation.

Masahisa Miyazaki, the Parliamentary Vice-Minister, replied, "It is difficult to clearly indicate the circumstances." I want to think about it." The Ministry of Justice has reviewed the notation and clarified that "we may permit landing depending on individual circumstances, such as when there are humanitarian considerations."

The Japanese government, in 111 countries and regions around the world, basically refuses to allow foreigners to enter unless there are special circumstances. (Tatsuya Sato).
