Please tell me about renewal of Japanese passport.

My son turned 21
and his Japanese passport will expire this July
He was born in Hawaii and has dual citizenship with Japan and the U.S.
Can he renew his Japanese passport after he turns 21
at the consulate anymore? ?
When I ask people around me, some say they can do it ? and others say they can't ?
what is the actual situation ?
please tell me if you know anyone who can help me out.

I am returning to Japan. Experience

I would like to share my experience
I hope it will help someone

I live in Hawaii
The inspection is free by nomi
I uploaded it to My sos and in a few hours
it turned blue.
After online check-in, at airport baggage check
show my sos
2 children's names were mixed up, one with US passport name on airline ticket, one with Japanese passport name
Japanese passport name on My sos
input I entered my passport name
I was nervous because it was different from usual, but I could relax as long as I could get on
I was asked to show my sos after arriving at Narita, but the free WiFi was unstable and I had to search the screen. I follow the flow and when I'm told it's blue, I say yes and proceed, even though it's not completely blue
Of course there are people waiting for it to come out before proceeding
I approach the counter to show my sos
It's still coming round and round, oh no! I wait desperately but it's my turn
it's blue but no connection
I show them the screen
I had a piece of paper but it seems the screen is better after all
is it Wi-Fi free I'm having trouble connecting I was told to wait, so I connected again from the beginning, and after a while it connected and I was able to get through
like this
the WiFi connection was bad, so once you get a good connection and open the app, it's better to keep it that way, but sometimes there happens to be text in the app, so you have to be careful.
I think we were in line for about 30 minutes
We were in the middle of the plane
Small children were given priority
There were people walking around in different lanes, but they weren't in cramped seats or wheel chairs.
I don't know why I heard a Japanese guy in the back talking to someone who probably lives in Japan
I guess everyone is so serious that they do Mysos
It would have been faster to go without doing this ? ! I was just like that. I don't really know what the lane was

that's all for your reference
if it helps mothers returning home with their children !
if you can get on the plane, you're all set good luck!

What is the minimum time required for a divorce without children ?
If I return to Japan without permission, can I get a divorce if the other party signs the papers?

I hear that there are not enough Japanese yen in Hawaii,
If you have already exchanged money in Hawaii, where did you do it ?

Also, have you exchanged money in Japan ?


Thank you very much. Also, is there anyone who can exchange money in Japan?

I almost never use JAL, but
I traveled to Japan with JAL this month and my mileage has reached 11,000 miles.
I was a little short of the $ 100 gift card from Amazon.com, which requires 12,000 miles to redeem, when I
found the following offer.
https://www.jal.co.jp/jalmile/use/partner/alamoanacenter/

Amex gift card issued by Ala Moana Center, 10,000 miles for $ 100.
I think this campaign is mainly targeted at visitors from Japan, but
Hawaii residents may find this redemption a good deal.
Apply by 7/31.

I will be returning to Japan in July, and I would like to know if there is any place where you have taken the PCR test ?
and if there is any place where it is free of charge or costs money, and if there is any place where you have had a smooth entry and exit in Hawaii and Japan with no problems with MY SOS, please let me know. I would like to know about it.
