Recently, the Japanese government announced two new decisions:
① Starting from April 5, the epidemic prevention restrictions on the entry of people from mainland China will be relaxed;
② From May 8, all entry restrictions in Japan will be completely lifted.
This means that Japan has finally opened its doors to the world, and everything will return to the state before the epidemic!

01
Cancellation of special entry requirements for Chinese travelers
Starting from April 5th, on the basis of having completed the three-dose vaccination, Chinese passengers can directly enter Japan without submitting a nucleic acid test report 72 hours before departure.
If there is no valid proof report for the three-dose vaccine?
Entering Japan from China still needs to submit a 72-hour nucleic acid test certificate
Currently, the vaccines approved in Japan are as follows:
BioNTech, Sinovac, Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Janssen, Fosun Pharma, CanSino (Convidecia), Novavax, Serum Institute of India (Covishield), Serum Institute of India (COVOVAX), Bharat Biotech, Sinopharm (BBIBP-CorV)
*Travelers are advised to log in to the "Epidemic Prevention Health Code International Version" mini-program on WeChat in advance to obtain an International Travel Health Certificate (International Travel Health Certificate)
Arrivals from 5 airports including Narita, Haneda, Chubu, Kansai and Fukuoka will undergo random PCR testing (about 20% of the total number of people).
PART
02
Complete removal of all entry restrictions into Japan
Starting from May 8, the Japanese government has downgraded the new crown from category 2 to category 5 and canceled all border control measures against the new crown virus.
Regardless of whether they have been vaccinated or not, immigrants are no longer required to do nucleic acid tests or fill in additional declaration procedures.
PART
03
Restrictions on direct flights between China and Japan eased
With the relaxation of entry policies, China-Japan flights will also increase significantly in the near future.
Starting from April 10th, there will be 1 round trip per day, returning to 60% of the level before the epidemic?
Japanese airlines plan to resume routes from various local airports in Japan to China starting in May to meet the follow-up tourist wave.

Hong Kong People's Preferred Tourist Destination - Japan
With the arrival of the Ching Ming Festival + Easter holidays, a large number of Hong Kong people have started "revenge-style" outings!
Japan, which is close to Hong Kong, is still the first choice for Hong Kong people to go out and play.
According to Hong Kong media reports, the arrival halls of many airports in Japan are crowded with tourists, and tourists often have to queue for 3-5 hours to successfully exit the customs.
Hong Kong's high-speed rail has gradually opened inter-provincial trains in the Mainland, and many citizens have gone to Shantou, Fuzhou, Guiyang and other places to visit relatives and travel.
After a lapse of three years, the bustling scene reappeared!
It is the long-lost freedom, and it is a beautiful fireworks on earth!
