Since they stated "Regardless of the vaccination status of the entrants/returnees", just wondering those had SinoVac can enter?
Currently Japanese Government doesnt recognise Sinovac.

Hmm still no news on they opening for non tour group right?

Two great news

No longer "guided" tour however need to book through travel agent

https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20220824_01/

No need pre-departure test

Hi may I check if this is the one?

Hmm currently I seeing need to do two things before departing to JP

Guidelines

1. Fast Track - Upload vaccination cert
2. Japan Web - Immigration and custom

I do hope thats it. Planning to fly probably end of the year.

Redeemed my krisflyer points for myself and my wife as our "honeymoon" trip for SQ.
Flying to Narita on 16 November until 30 November 2022 (Haneda all fully redeemed, sigh...)
I'm arriving 730am JPT 17 November in Narita, I have 13 days to go around.

Need sifus to help me on:
1. mySOS / Fast Track (for vaccination cert) and also Japan Web (for immigration/customs clearance), these need to be filled when? 1 week before travelling?
2. My wife wants to stay as long as possible in Tokyo to shop however I would want some detour out of Tokyo since we are having so many days in Tokyo.
- I'm thinking of going to see Mt Fuji, is a day trip enough? Thinking going to Hakone or Kawaguchiko just to see Mt Fuji and walkaround only, dont really have any other particular place. JR Tokyo Wide Pass is sufficient to cover?
- I'm thinking of going to Gundam Factory in Yokohama, probably another day trip.
- Wife wants to do strawberry picking but saw from internet, its not the right season. Unsure how to do this haha.
- Trying to formula a list what to do in Tokyo. She just gave a bunch of names like Shibuya, Ginza, Asakusa etc but unsure what to see there.
- We both been to Kyoto and Osaka before, so not too keen to go again.

mySOS is supposedly for vaccination cert meanwhile Visit Japan Web is for Immigration and customs.
However when u go over to mySOS or FAST TRACK website, it says:

And I'm arriving on 17 November. Means dont need to submit vaccination cert?

Hmm anyone able to buy ticket to Ghibli Museum? Its currently close for international purchase. Wonder any workaround to buy ticket in advance from Malaysia?

Thank you for your reply. Just wondering if buy at Lawson, will that ticket tag to your name?
I am considering asking my friend who is working in Japan to buy first....

Hmmm wondering hows the immigration/customs clearance at Narita. I trying to buy limousine bus ticket. 3 hours from arrival time should be suffice?

Flying SQ. Redeemed my miles however no more flights to Haneda, only left Narita.
Should arriving at Terminal 1.
Well my wife wants to use Limousine bus, I'm fine with any transportation.
Thanks for sharing cheaper way by using TYO

Just wondering anyone bought over JPY 200k worth of goods (handbags, clothes) and bring back to Msia? Hows the custom duties?

Anyone arriving at Narita recently eg this week?
How's the immigration & custom clearance? How many hours from disembark from plane until u board MRT?

Thanks bro for replying. I'm using SQ, so landing at T1 Narita.


Anyone fill the last portion "Test result certificate for test taken less than 72 hours before departure"? Should be "No" right?
I'm Sinovac 3 shots and received email that they have accepted the image of my vaccination certificate.

About 2 working days. Very fast!

I am also in dilemma, just left this part.
I am 3 shots sinovac.
If you click on it, u can choose "No" in the option.

Wah thats good to know, thank you for sharing!
Now I wonder if need to buy travel insurance especially for COVID hmmm

When we were in Japan last year, it was hard to find lift in MRT.
My wife and I went for limousine bus, it was comfortable and dont have to worry about carrying luggage up and down.

It is advisable to fill thru the link, when u arrive, u can q up and clear immigration faster.

I filled in 1 month before flying. I think their response quite fast, two to three working days you get response from them.
