Yeah, there's likely a citizenship thing at play. I imagine the treatment for a "digital nomad" from the US is going to be pretty different than someone from the Philippines or Vietnam [1], for example. Japan (like most countries) probably doesn't care so much about re-entry of rich tourists, so long as they're not working or doing anything illegal.

[1] Both are countries with lots of unskilled folks who desperately want to work in Japan.
