I am from the united states, and would like to visit japan for over 90 days. my question is this; can I go to Japan for 89 days, fly to China, and the next day fly back into Japan and stay for another 90 days? or do I have to get a visa?

You should get a visa. you can´t go from one country to the next and start 90 days over.. Sorry.. Call your Local Japanese Embassy or Consulate in the U.S.
Take care..

Read this; it may help.
While I was working there (with a work visa) I had my women come over on a visitors visa. She had a part-time, under-the-table English tutor gig that didn't allow her a work visa (they didn't want to pay taxes).
Every three months she would go to Hong Kong to visit her sister (who was working there) and then come back. It worked out well.
*The only thing that I think made this work well is that she had my address and contact to write-in on her visitors visa. If you won't have this they may suspect you are working under the table somewhere and they might make things tough for you.
They are not as scrutinizing as the US, so if you find a friend (who is of the opposite sex) you can put their address and say that person is your fiance or something.
If not, always be prepared in the event that you get trapped at Narita airport and have to fly home! Good Luck!

Yes, it is possible. However, there is no guarantee that you would be re-admitted. It would be up to the discretion of the immigration officer. A friend of mine resided in Japan for a year that way with quarterly trips to Seoul, but the last time he returned to Japan the immigration officer told him that would be the last tourist visa he would be issued.

It's probably possible, but I wouldn't take the chance. You never know about immigration or custom officers. Take the time and get the visa, make it easy on yourself. I'd hate for you to get stuck in any country and have to wait on the red-tape of the U.S. Immigration Services to help you out . . . . God knows it could take years!

If you plan on staying for a long period of time, you really *SHOULD* get a visa. Where are you going to live?? You can't rent an apartment or get a cell phone without an alien card. To get one, you must have a legal visa. For a long term stay, I highly recommend you make some kind of arrangement.

Every country has so called "180 days rule". This rule isn't written policy and not disclosed (to respond emergency case).
Frequent travelers know this rule.
I think you will be able to stay up to 180 days (6 months) a year with the entry permit (90 days x 2 times). However, there is no guarantee .

in case you are able to tutor which you have adequate money to stay to tell the tale for the extra 2 months, it is going to no longer be a topic. in any different case, bypass right into a non-ecu u . s . a . for some days. no longer each u . s . a . in Europe is a member of the ecu, bypass to a minimum of certainly one of people who's no longer.
