During the first phase of reopening, travellers from 98 countries, including the UK, will be allowed entry on the condition they are on a fully guided package tour.
Visitors will still need to obtain a tourist visa, after receiving an ERFS confirmation from a Japan-based tour operator, and wear a mask.
The daily entry cap has been doubled to 20,000, and all visitors must test negative for Covid-19 within 72 hours prior to departure. However, visitors from certain "blue list" countries – including the UK – will be able to skip the additional test upon arrival as well as the previous three-day quarantine, regardless of vaccination status.
