At MaximTravelers, we listen closely to your preferences and design a tour crafted exclusively for you.
Because every trip is completely private, you can even adjust your schedule or destinations along the way.* A dedicated escort can be arranged upon request so that even first-time travelers to Japan can feel confident and comfortable with our support. We can also arrange authentic cultural experiences such as tea ceremony, sushi-making, and more.
*Please note that some changes may not be available due to local conditions and may
incur additional costs.

Important Information for Visa-Free Tourism Entry to Japan

- Visa – Who can enter without a visa
-
Citizens of visa-exempt countries can travel to Japan for tourism (or other shortstay purposes) without obtaining a visa in advance.
For the up-to-date list of visa-waiver countries/regions, please refer to the official page of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan (MOFA). https://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/short/novisa.html
Please note that even with visa-waiver status, the final decision rests with immigration officers at the port of entry — entry can still be denied.
- Entry Procedures – Use Visit Japan Web
-
At present, Japan does not require any electronic travel authorization prior to entry.
For a smoother entry into Japan, we recommend you use Visit Japan Web, which allows you to complete immigration (entry), customs declaration, and — if eligible
— tax-free shopping declaration online before arrival. Visit Japan Web is free of charge.
Visit Japan Web | Digital Agency Services
Use of Visit Japan Web is recommended but not mandatory. You can still choose to fill in paper arrival card & customs declaration forms upon arrival. - Mobile Phone Connectivity
-
Unfortunately, Japan’s free public Wi-Fi is not always reliable, so we recommend:
- Purchasing a local prepaid SIM card (if your phone is unlocked),
- Or renting a pocket Wi-Fi device for the duration of your stay.
- Alternatively, ensure you have roaming/data plan from your home provider.
- Travel Insurance
-
We strongly recommend that visa-free visitors obtain travel insurance before arriving in Japan especially for medical emergencies (accidents and illness).
While Japan has high-quality medical facilities, care can be expensive for non-residents. Having travel insurance helps avoid large unexpected expenses and gives peace of mind during your stay.
