NordenBladet – Tourists can travel to Japan again after the country has had strict corona restrictions for two and a half years.
The Japanese authorities hope that the tourists can give the country an economic boost at a time when the Japanese currency is relatively weak.
Already on Tuesday morning, tourists from Israel, France and Great Britain arrived at the country’s airports.
Japan closed its borders not long after the corona pandemic hit the world. For a period, foreign nationals who were permanent residents of Japan were also not allowed to return.
As of Tuesday, it is possible to travel to Japan without a visa from 68 countries and territories, but travelers must still present documentation that they have been vaccinated or have tested negative for corona no more than three days before departure.
