Japan will ease restrictions on business travellers from Monday (8 November) but has yet to reveal details of when it will allow international tourists to return.

Japan is to reopen to international business travellers from Monday (8 November)

Fully vaccinated corporate travellers arriving in Japan will only have to self-isolate for three days, rather than the current 10-day quarantine period, if they can provide proof of their vaccination status.

The lifting of the ban on business visitors is likely to be the first step in a phased reopening of Japan’s borders by the country’s government.

According to reports in Japan, the government is considering a plan to allow international tourists to enter the country in stages, which could see group tours resume by the end of the year.
