Re-entry to Japan within 90 days period as a tourist?
I am a European citizen with Spanish passport and therefore I needed no visa for tourism in Japan. I was given a 90 day period (Sep 16 to max. Dec 15) and within that period I must go to the US for an interview (Nov 30 to Dec 5)
My flight back home to Spain is on Dec 14 so it is not an extension of my original period what I am after. I just need to interrupt my holiday for this specific thing and I am afraid of not being able to re-enter, join my (also Spanish) wife again and finish our vacation normally.
Is there any objective information about the regulations regarding re-entry for this type of permit?

Observation: US passport, we had an overnight connection in Tokyo. On the return flight we also had an overnight connection. This second entry didn't cause any scrutiny from the official and unless his computer found our tickets he didn't know it was just an overnight connection. (This actually made economic sense--it was part of an airline promo deal, they were putting us up at a hotel near the airport. The tickets were no more than the direct flight would have been, we got to spend some hours looking around at basically zero cost.)
