I suddenly realized that I will be taking my child, who was born in Hawaii, to Japan for the first time. At this time, which passport should I use to enter Japan or the U.S. ？ The ticket has already been purchased in the U.S. name.

I think it would be best to ask the Japanese consulate.

I immediately inquired and was told that when entering and leaving the U.S. I would use my American passport and when entering and leaving Japan I would use my Japanese passport ！
This means that when entering and leaving Japan, my child and I will stand in the Japanese line and my American husband will stand separately in the foreigner's line.
If anyone can help me with this, please let me know. If anyone understands this, please answer me.
Also, I have both passports made, but if I use only my American passport, will there be any penalties?

When you go through immigration, there will be an officer around, so ask him if you can join the line of Japanese people.
It depends on the officer, but I think there are many who say it is OK.
There is no penalty for using a passport, but you will be told to use a Japanese passport if you are in Japan. Some immigration officers may complain and complain about you. Basically, if you are Japanese, you must use a Japanese passport to enter Japan.
If you enter Japan with an American passport, you can only stay in Japan for 90 days because you are entering as a foreigner.
If something happens during your stay in Japan and you have to stay longer, it will be troublesome.
The reverse is also true. Be careful.

Thank you for your experience ！
Before I had a child, I had to separate from my husband and wait in line at immigration, and if one line was long, one of us would have to wait, but I was worried about waiting with a small child. I'm not at an airport in Japan, but I've had trouble with that waiting line.
