That comment was in the past tense or should have been. It used to be that easy to get rid of visa-overstayers say 20 years ago. To hustle them onto an airplane and out of Japan

I suspect that it was a bit more formal than that...but I get the point. In any case, I remember when I looked into going there 20 years or so ago, they required that you show a return air ticket before you got past passport control...like you say, they did not mess around.
