Entry and Exit Requirements for Travel to Japan

Are U.S. citizens permitted to enter? Yes, visa free tourism resumed October 11, 2022.

The U.S. Embassy strongly urges any U.S. citizens considering travel to Japan to carefully review the information available from the Government of Japan. Travelers who are unsure of their eligibility to travel to Japan should contact the nearest Japanese embassy or consulate for additional information.

Individual tourists may visit Japan starting October 11, 2022, subject to vaccine or testing requirements as further described in the U.S. Embassy’s “Information for U.S. Citizens Traveling to Japan” webpage.

Tourists with U.S. passports no longer need a visa to stay up to three months.

Military travelers arriving in Japan under the Status of Forces Agreement should consult with their chain of command to ensure they understand any applicable requirements prior to beginning travel.

Upon arrival in Japan, travelers will be required to complete documentation, and may be required to download several smartphone applications. If a traveler does not have a smartphone, most international airports offer an option for travelers to rent one upon arrival.

Travelers entering Japan may use the Electronic Customs Declaration Gates (e-Gates) for customs clearance, which reduces human-to-human contact. Travelers may wish to learn more about the program before arriving in Japan. Please see the Japan Customs website for details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a negative COVID-19 test required for entry?

Passengers who have been fully vaccinated and boosted with vaccines approved by the Japanese government and who are arriving in Japan after October 11, 2022, will not require a pre-travel COVID-19 test. Those traveling to Japan via a direct flight from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) (excluding the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) and Macau) are required to obtain a certificate of pre-departure test. Please refer to the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare’s website for more details.

Are health screening procedures in place at airports and other ports of entry?

Yes

U.S. citizens seeking information about visa extensions should consult with the Immigration Service Agency

Please note: These complex regulations are subject to change with little notice. The U.S. Embassy’s ability to intervene on behalf of travelers denied boarding at their point of embarkation or denied entry upon arrival to Japan is extremely limited, and those travelers denied entry at Japanese ports of entry will likely be immediately reboarded on flights back to the United States.

For questions regarding the government of Japan’s travel restrictions, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs provides contact information in Section Two of this website and you may also contact Japanese immigration Information Centers .
