INFORMATION REGARDING UPDATED TRAVEL ADVICE

Fully vaccinated Australians and permanent residents are now able to travel internationally. The Department of Home Affairs website has information on how to prepare for travel abroad.

The SmartTraveller website covers the visa, vaccination and testing requirements for each destination including Japan.

From June 1st, arrivals from Australia still require a certificate of a negative PCR test result taken within 72 hours prior to departure, however, testing or quarantine after arrival is no longer required even for unvaccinated travellers.

From June 10, Japan is accepting tourists booked on small-scale group tours, but is still closed to tourists wishing to travel independently.

For further information see the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan’s website.

If you have a travel credit with Japan Holidays, please call us to discuss how we can rebook your travel to Japan.

We are taking bookings for all our Fully Escorted Tours in 2022 & 2023 and all deposits remain refundable if you are unable to travel to Japan due to border closures.
