Tip for visiting Japan

We recommend that all participants arriving from overseas complete the Visit Japan Web procedure in advance. Visit Japan Web is an online service for all travelers entering or returning to Japan, regardless of nationality (both foreign nationals and Japanese citizens). By registering your immigration and customs declaration information online in advance and presenting the generated QR code, you can complete arrival procedures more smoothly at the airport.
