Japan visa regime: information for travelers
When planning a trip to Japan, an important step is to check information about visa requirements. Citizens of certain countries can visit Japan without a visa for up to 90 days. This rule applies to tourist travel, business travel and social visits. For most foreign nationals not on this list, a visa must be obtained in advance.
Japan only issues visas through its embassies or consulates abroad. However, some categories of travelers can use an e-visa, which can be applied for online without leaving home. This visa allows you to stay in the country for up to 90 days. If a longer stay is planned, for example, for study or work, it is necessary to apply for a visa of another category.
The process of obtaining a visa usually involves collecting certain documents such as passport, photos, application form, proof of financial means and other documents confirming the purpose of your visit. It is important to contact the consulate or visa center at Buch-dein-Visum.de in advance to find out about the specific requirements for your country.
For up-to-date information on visas to Japan, including visa types and the visa application process, it is best to refer to our section on visa requirements.
Safe travel to Japan: vaccinations and medical advice
Before traveling to Japan, it is important to pay attention to the required and recommended vaccinations to ensure your safety and health while traveling. Although Japan is considered a country with high medical standards and low rates of infectious diseases, some immunizations can still be beneficial.
Be sure to check for measles, rubella and mumps (MMR) vaccinations as these diseases can still occur. Hepatitis A and Bvaccinations are also recommended, especially if you plan to visit less touristy areas or try street food. You should also consider getting vaccinated against Japanese encephalitis (early summer and fall months), which is a rare disease but is better to be vaccinated against. It is transmitted by mosquitoes that feed on the blood of infected birds and mammals. For travelers interested in outdoor activities, tetanus and diphtheria vaccination is also important.
Given that cities in Japan are overpopulated, winter (December through March) is flu season and the virus spreads quickly. We recommend getting an annual flu vaccination before traveling, especially if your visit is scheduled in winter, as this will help to alleviate symptoms in the event of infection. There is another common infectious disease during the cold season Norovirus (stomach flu). Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, and in severe cases dehydration can occur. The best preventive measure is regular hand washing.
It is advisable to consult a doctor in advance and have a check-up to ensure that all necessary vaccinations are up to date. It is also recommended to take out travel insurance before traveling to Japan, to protect against unexpected medical expenses or other unpleasant situations that may arise while traveling.
Healthy travel is an important aspect of enjoying the beauty and culture of Japan without health concerns.

Japan with children: an exciting trip for the whole family
Traveling with children to Japan is an amazing adventure that will leave an unforgettable experience for both adults and young tourists. This country is an ideal option for a family vacation, as it is known for its safe atmosphere, modern infrastructure and friendly locals.
Japan offers ample opportunities for family vacations with a variety of activities for children. You can immerse yourself in the world of Japanese anime at the Ghibli Museum, feed the deer at Nara Park. Nature lovers can take a stroll to the Museum of Nature and Science.
Be sure to experience Japanese culture: you can watch a kabuki performance or attend a sumo tournament. Don't miss the opportunity to explore a real Japanese castle and take a photo at Golden Pavilion Shrine.
The country has many wonderful places such as aquariums, zoos and theme parks such as Osako Kaiyukan Oceanarium, Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Japan theme park in Osaka, where young travelers can meet their favorite characters, enjoy rides and learn more about wildlife and ecosystems.
Don't forget to consider the distinctive local cuisine. There are many family restaurants in Japan that offer a wide variety of dishes, including special children's menus. Food tastings are often held in the basements of large department stores, a great opportunity for the whole family to try something new and interesting.
It's also important to keep comfort in mind when traveling. If you are going to use public transportation, trains and buses have special seats for passengers with small children. In large cities, it is recommended to avoid traveling with strollers during rush hours, from 7 to 9 am, because at this time the transport is very crowded. Travel for children under five years old is free, and children between the ages of six and twelve can travel at half price.
It is important to plan the trip in advance, taking into account the children's opinions and preferences. Also, traveling to Japan with children will require a passport and visa. If the child travels without parents, a notarized travel consent is required. It is recommended to have a health insurance and immunization certificate for a hassle-free border crossing. With the right approach, your trip to Japan will be an unforgettable and joyful experience for the whole family.
