Happy New Year Everyone!

 

We are going to China next month for Chinese New Years but sometime in end of Feb, we will be traveling for 2 days to Tokyo, Japan for a visit. Does anyone know if we need a Visa to enter Japan?

Looks like it would take at least a week to process

You will need to visit nearest Japanese consulate, cannot use a visa service to do this.

Hey Dan,

 

Consulate of Japan Atlanta, GA is closes to us in South Carolina. That will work right? I just need to bring all paper work.
