Also sticker+stamp is considerably small. Not like full page funky-blinky making the passport impossible to stay closed by itself and so on..
Or comparing that to other countries where they just slam the stamp into the middle of the empty page...
No, JP immigration is not a space waster in my experience..
My most recent Japanese stamp could be placed a bit closer to the top left corner of the blank page so I can squeeze more stamps/stickers in. Instead, there is a bit of space on the top and to the left of the stamp. The dude could have made a better effort.
