The latest information on Japan border ease for international leisure travelers

2022.09.01

Dear Valued Business Partners, We are delighted to share the update of Japan border ease for international leisure travelers. Effective from SEP 7, 2022, Japan will drop the pre-arrival PCR tests (the negative proof certificate) for travelers who have received three shots of approved vaccines (Vaccines by Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Janssen, Bharat Biotech and Novavax are recognized). Vaccine Certificate for Quarantine: https:// www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/covid-19/border_vaccine.html In addition, the daily limit on the number of passengers entering the country will raise from 20,000 to 50,000, starting from SEP.7, 2022. Another significant step towards leisure travel is that our country will further relax the border measures by allowing visitors from all countries to enter Japan for leisure purpose on unguided packaged tours. We will be receiving further details from JATA (Japan Association of Travel Agency) shortly. Please note that the policy may subject to change without prior notice. Therefore, we highly suggest you to check with local Embassy/Consulate before departure for an updated information.  

Once any updates in progress, we will share with you accordingly. Stay tuned with us!! Yours Sincerely, Shinya “Billy” Kurosawa President and CEO JTB Global Marketing & Travel Inc.
