Japan

We've reviewed our advice for Japan. We haven't changed the level of our advice. We advise you exercise normal safety precautions. Higher levels apply in some areas. Japan is accepting foreign tourists in stages. Initially, this is limited to guided and organised tours only from countries listed as “blue” (low risk). Australia is listed as a blue country. The company organising your tour will sponsor your visa application. Be advised that Japan’s visa-waiver program is still suspended.

We advise:

Exercise normal safety precautions in Japan.
