Hi. I was wondering if I have a green card, can I travel to Japan and get back here in the US?

Should I just use my Philippine passport and my greencard to go there? or do I need a visa to enter Japan? Because If you're from the Philippines, you would need a visa to go to Japan.

So how should I do this? Any idea?

If Philippine citizens require a visa, then you will have to obtain one before going to Japan. The fact that you are US green card holder will make no difference to Japanese entry authorities.

Your green card will allow you to reenter the US. With certain exceptions, it doesn't give you any special consideration when traveling to another country. If you will be entering Japan with a Philippine passport then you'll need a visa.
