While travelers from many countries can visit Tokyo and Japan with relative ease for 90 days on a tourist visa, make sure you follow the official Japanese government visa and immigration guidelines to ensure that you can enter the country legally. If you are from a country that requires a visa for entry into Japan—even for a short stay—be sure to follow the required procedures.

obtain a short-term stay visa (“tanki-shouyou visa” in
Japanese) from the embassy of Japan in your country.
