Japan is planning to waive tourist visa requirements from some countries as part of a further easing of border controls enacted to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Fuji News Network reports that Prime Minister Fumio Kishida may decide as early as this week on the easing.
It added that it would also allow individual travellers to visit Japan without travel agency bookings.
Deputy chief cabinet secretary Seiji Kihara said on Sunday; “A weak yen is most effective in attracting inbound tourism, further steps must be taken to draw in foreign visitors.”
Japan last week raised the daily ceiling of inbound travellers to 50,000 from 20,000 and eliminated a requirement for pre-departure COVID-19 tests.
