Question:
I am writing a story about a Japanese American who wants to travel to Japan after WWII.
Answer:
I think Area 52 has a very good point. You had better give your character a connection to GHQ and put him on a military flight through Honolulu and Guam, etc. There was just no commercial way for an American civilian to get to Japan in 1947. I suppose he could sneak into Japan from Macao or something like that. Japanese nationals weren't allowed to exchange currency in 1947, so they had no money to travel even if GHQ was OK with it.
