Japanese passport with Japanese "citizen returned" stamps (ciricular stamp):
US passport with Japanese entry sticker (good way to cover redundant US entry stamps CBP shouldn't be doing to US passport holders)
BTW, anyone have concerns about how visible your entry and exit stamps are on newer US passports with dark backgrounds? Anyone with insight, let me know on the
US passport - background pictures thread.
