I have a question regarding the Japanese immigration office.
My husband is a foreign national and we are going to Japan together. Is it possible for me, a Japanese citizen, to stand in line with him in the foreigner-only lane? One reason is that I will have to wait for him if I leave early, and the other reason is that this is the first time for me to purchase a JR Pass, and I need to get a stamp or sticker for a short stay at the port of entry. I don't know how to get it in the Japanese-only lane.
Can someone please tell me how to get it in the Japanese-only lane?

The passport control is one person at a time, and it is not possible for two people to stand in a line at the same time with two passports out.

JR Pass can be purchased before leaving the U.S.
If you meet the requirements to purchase a JR Pass, it can be done afterwards
Please inquire at the travel agency when purchasing your ticket to Japan.

#Why is it impossible? Have you never seen a family screening ?
I've never seen a Japanese return booth next to a foreigner's entry booth.

What a local-like small airport if there is a Japanese return booth next to the foreigner entry booth.

Huh. He's talking nonsense again.

At the immigration booth for foreigners
there are so many foreigners in the immigration line
you can't tell who is family or individual

you don't have time to worry about other people here
if you are scurrying around, your behavior will be suspicious and you will be sent to another room. suspicious and I'll be sent to another room. Uh-hoh.

You usually judge family members.
If you stand in line, you naturally look at the people in front of you, and this person, on the other hand, is saying appropriate things without looking around.

I did my own research.
I heard that it is possible to line up in the foreign nationals' lane. However, when there is a long line, you may be asked by the local staff to line up in the Japanese-only lane.

Regarding the JR Pass, when exchanging a JR Pass purchased in the U.S. for a ticket at the JR ticket counter, foreign nationals are asked to show a stamp or sticker of short stay, but permanent residents (who have been in Japan for more than 10 years) are asked to show their green card? ? Or do they need a short stay stamp or sticker ?
Please let me know if you have used this method before.
