Visa-free entry into Japan and passport expiration date
score:1
Accepted answer
Timatic, the database used by airlines, states:
Passports and other documents accepted for entry must be valid on arrival.
There are rumours that some officers will reduce the amount of days you're allowed to stay, but this did not happen to me when entering at Narita on a passport with one week left in 2012. I got the full 90 days, and when exiting they simply made sure that the sticker validity hadn't expired.
However, I may have been lucky, seeing as I've heard of numerous people being prevented from exiting on an expired passport. That said, again, they will let you in even if your passport validity doesn't cover the entire stay, but it will be your responsibility to renew it.
Furthermore, not all countries accept expired passports even of their own citizens. I flew home to Sweden via Denmark (thus entering the Schengen Area in Denmark) and simply used my (valid) ID card to enter - my expired passport would not have been accepted.
