Japan adjusts inbound tourism policies, no longer requiring COVID-19 test reports from Chinese travelers
News on February 1, 2023: As China's COVID-19 situation has largely come under control, and with the approach of the February 5 trial date for reopening group outbound travel by Chinese travel agencies, the Japanese and South Korean governments have recently begun adjusting a series of epidemic prevention and visa policies for travelers from China!

Number and positivity rate of positive cases among Chinese travelers to Japan
According to the latest information we have received, since Japan began conducting universal COVID-19 PCR testing for travelers from China upon entry on December 30, the positivity rate detected at the airport has been only about 3%! Currently, the Japanese government is internally discussing a timeline to end the current provisional set of epidemic prevention measures for travelers from China.
According to the latest revelations from Japanese media, Japan may lift entry restrictions on travelers from China in early March. This includes no longer requiring a pre-departure nucleic acid test report within 72 hours, as well as canceling the current requirement for universal COVID-19 testing, and instead adopting a random inspection system.
