Japan | Fully Vaccinated Travelers Will Not Need to Test Pre-Departure

Effective September 7, 2022, fully vaccinated can enter Japan without submitting negative test results from a test taken within 72 hours of departure. 

Every passenger entering Japan must submit a completed questionnaire and a vaccination certificate or a negative COVID-19 test result. Quarantine requirements depend on the classification of the country or region of stay prior to one’s arrival in Japan, as well as one’s vaccination status.
