US, Australia, UK, Canadian, and New Zealand passport holders do not typically require a visa for entry into Japan for tourism visits of less than 90 days. Please reconfirm with the Japanese embassy or consulate in your country to reconfirm your particular requirements. You can find more information on our FAQ page here. LINK
