Japan to welcome back foreign tourists from October 11

Japanese PM Fumio Kishida has said his country will welcome back tourists from October 11 this year, after an over two-year-long coronavirus-forced travel suspension. "Finally, Japan will reopen the border...visa waiver is back, no daily limit and free individual visits," Japanese Digital Minister Taro Kono tweeted. Japan suspended its visa programme in March 2020 after the COVID-19 outbreak.
