Japan 90 day temp visitor visa renewal?
I hold a US passport and traveled to Japan in October 2017. Japan Immigration put a 90 day temporary visitor sticker on my passport.
At the end of this month I will be traveling to Japan for a few days and some of the dates will overlap the expiration date from the last 90 day temp visitor sticker they gave me.
Does anyone know if they will assign me new 90 day temporary visitor sticker upon arrival?
Appreciate the help. Thanks!

You won't have an issue at all.
The only time you have an issue is when there is a short space of time between your last departure and latest entry. (on multiple occasions with a visible pattern)
Some people try to avoid getting a proper visa by going to Korea for a day and back and when immigration sees this happening multiple times that's when they get interested and stop you. People who work in less than esteemed lines of work abuse the system in this way.
For genuine tourists not an issue.

*(I attended the Japan DO, which had an after-DO in Seoul, then returned to Japan to sightsee for a couple of weeks)

I did something like this, innocently as a tourist* this last year. I got questioned fairly insistently at both passport control _and_ customs on my reentry, but was let through without issue.
