I am a Japanese citizen in my 50s and have been living in the U.S. with a green card. I would like to return to Japan to take care of my parents, and after their death, I would like to live in the U.S. again with a green card. My parents have no chronic diseases and are in good health. In other words, there is no expiration date on their residence in Japan. I understand that I can only provisionally waive for about 2 years to temporarily return to Japan with a green card. If anyone has ever re-instated after living in Japan with a waiver, I would appreciate your advice.

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.

Do you know that both Japan and the US have progressive taxation ？ Why is it fixed at 30% （ lol ）?

The following site will do the application on your behalf.

The important thing is to explain that you have enough income after returning to your country and that you have a guarantor such as a relative in Japan.
Good Luck!
