Entry tips for Japan

• Visa-required nationals resident in certain countries (e.g. US, UK, Canada, Australia) can apply for a single-entry tourist e-Visa.
• Local currency is Japanese yen (JPY) — carry a card that works abroad and some cash for arrival costs.
• Buy travel medical insurance that covers your whole stay.
• An eSIM bought before you fly means data as soon as you land — handy for showing bookings at immigration.
