As the Japanese government eases travel restrictions, tourists from Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Vietnam, Southeast Asia, and other countries have increased. However, still subject to China’s “zero-COVID” policy, most Chinese still fail to travel abroad.
Japan’s borders are now open to independent foreign travelers and Japan has reintroduced visa-free entry. Quarantine and on-arrival testing are no longer enforced, although travelers are still required to show either triple-vaccinated status or proof of a negative COVID test taken 72 hours prior to departure.
