Japan to welcome individual tourists from October 11

The long-awaited lift of entry restriction will see the nation admit individual inbound travellers for the first time since the pandemic. 

The Government of Japan has announced it is resuming entry by individual travellers for tourism purposes, beginning from October 11, 2022. Negative test results will no longer be required upon entry. 

Resuming individual travel and visa waivers, and the elimination of daily arrival caps will see more international visitors than the nation has experienced since closing borders due to the Covid-19 lockdown.
