Japan to Double Tourist Cap Next Month, But Hurdles Remain for Travelers
byDaniel McCarthy/
Japan on Tuesday announced some major changes to its inbound tourist protocols that will allow for more foreign travelers to enter the country starting next month. However, the entry rules will still make it difficult to visit Japan.
从9月7日开始,日本将允许所有国家 /地区的非包装旅行,其每日上限从20,000人到50,000人。但是,如果单个旅行者不属于带导游团体的一部分,他们仍然将无法进入日本,而那些想独自远离旅游团体的人将无法做到。
All travelers will also still need an entry visa that has to be pre-issued prior to travel, which has been seen as a significant hurdle for some. Travelers who are fully vaccinated, a definition that includes three doses of a vaccine, will no longer need to test prior to travel.
尽管如此,这两项变化仍在周三由富米奥·基希达(Fumio Kishida)总理宣布,这是恢复日本正常旅行规则和法规的积极步骤,日本严格涉及后循环的旅行。
Japan had started to resume some inbound travel earlier in the summer but only did so with a number of rules in place.Those rules include mask-wearing in crowded outdoor spaces and in most indoor spaces, and mandatory travel insurance, along with booking travel packages through a certified Japanese travel agency that will guide guests around crowded areas and into hotels and attractions with COVID-19 measures in place.
If tourists disobeyed those rules,they could have been booted during their travel.
