I've just spoken to a Japan consulate in the States regarding "kinship visas" for first-degree relatives (parents and children) of foreign residents of Japan: You can visit if your parent or child living in Japan if it says "long-term resident" (定住者) on their residence card. The visit can be social (ie, just to see them; it does not have to be for any medical or emergency reason). And, you can travel to other parts of Japan during your visit. I will post more details on this coming Monday's InsideKyoto page.
Hi! My mom is a japanese citizen and lives in Japan. I live in the US. I can visit her now? I am not a minor child, I am an adult. I no longer have dual citizenship.
