What is a difference between multiple and single re-entry permits?

If a foreign national has a multiple re-entry permit, the foreign national may depart from and re-enter Japan any number of times as long as the permit is effective. On the other hand, a single re-entry permit allows the permit holder to depart from and re-enter Japan only once.
