What about handling of permanent residents, though? I don’t know about European countries but, at least compared to USA, in this COVID-era Jpn’s travel/immigration policies seem to be treating its PR much like any other foreigners rather than like its citizens. Citizens vs non-citizens is where Jpn has chosen to draw a hard line. In USA, PR generally are treated more or less the same as citizens in vast majority of situations, and COVID has not appeared to have to have changed that.
