If a person registered in Japan's resident register leaves the country and returns within less than three months, that return does not count as a new entry for starting the one-year period.
住民基本台帳に記録されている人が日本を出国し、出国の日から3か月に満たない期間で再び日本に上陸した場合、その上陸は起算日となる「上陸」には含まれない。
This statement is TRUE
Explanation
The provision excludes a re-entry made less than three months after departure. A short trip abroad does not reset the one-year clock.
Original text
当該出国の日から三月に満たない期間内に再び本邦に上陸した場合における当該上陸を除く。
