Why this phrase

Short-term visitors to Japan are legally required to carry their passport and show it if an officer asks. The hotel-safe habit most travellers bring with them is the one that gets them in trouble here. Nothing scary happens if you have it on you, so this is a one-line fix: know the sentence, hand it over, carry on.
