Since March 1, the conditions for entry for foreigners have become a little looser ( the following URL)、but they are still very strict.

However, in the case of your son, it may be the case of "special circumstances", but he should need a VISA for a short stay. So, I think it would be a good idea to contact the consulate with jurisdiction.

If there is a wedding, funeral, or visit to a seriously ill family member in Japan, or if Kyorokyoro, a Japanese citizen, is returning to Japan even for a short period of time, the U.S. citizen's child can enter Japan with the consulate's permission. As #2 said, you should consult with the consulate in your area. I am not sure up to what age they are treated as "children".

I don't have solar at home and I'm wondering if I should get a BMW hybrid if the electric bill will be very expensive.

Rather than rushing to choose one of the few models available now, I'd rather buy a used hybrid

and wait

for more models from each manufacturer, which will give me a wider range of choices for replacement.

Basically, you need proof that you are staying in Japan legally, so it would be impossible with a travel visa as Mr. Baikinman mentioned.

I went to a bank in one of the towns in West Tokyo a long time ago and asked, and was turned down for the same reason.

But you could try calling them just to see if you can't get a good answer. I just thought the answer would be the same.

First of all, what about your Japanese nationality ? If it has not been revoked by you, you can resume your resident registration.
Then you will be charged resident tax and social insurance premiums. Therefore, we recommend that you use a relative or other person's home as your address. Resident tax is zero if you have no income in Japan. Social security will pay the minimum amount, but it is not a large amount.
Do you want an account in Japan that badly? ? Also, the US will ask you every year on your TAX application if you have an account overseas.
If you want to withdraw money from your US account in Japan, you can do so at a post office ATM or 711.

Foreigners cannot open an account without proof of residence.

Bank of Hawaii does not offer ETF or Wire Transfer with other banks in the online menu. According to the information on the following site, you need to fill out a Form and take it to the Branch.
https://wiretransfer.io/bank-of-hawaii-wire-transfer/
However, I have not checked with the bank, so it is not definate. ETFs between accounts in your name at other banks are also only available at external banks- > Bank of Hawaii, and you can't transfer money externally online. I am mainly with CitiBank, so I set up the ETF with Citi and finally got BOH - > Citi's ETF. Citi allows online Wire Transfer with a limit $ 50,000/d.

One point I just remembered that you should be careful when you Wire using Citibank, because the Dollar / Yen rate is quite bad when you Wire from Citibank to Japan. I opened a dollar deposit account with Mitsubishi UFJ ( on the Japan side ) and sent the money in dollars, not Japanese yen. Also, as you probably know, both the IRS and the Japanese tax office will report any Wire over $10,000, so it is essential that you keep documentation to show the use of the money in case of an investigation.
