For both, let’s assume Fred is a married US citizen, owns his home in the US, and his wife and grown children will continue living in the US.
A) Fred visits Japan on a 6-month rich-guy visa, and extends it to a year.
B) Fred attends a Japanese language school for 6 months or 1 year on a student visa.
