It categorises countries and regions into three groups: Blue, Yellow and Red, depending on infection risk. Visitors from the lowest-risk group, including the UK and Ireland, will be exempt from testing at their arrival airport and self-quarantining even if they have not been vaccinated. The pre-departure PCR test requirement still remains. The Japanese Government will also increase the daily entry limit on overseas arrivals from 10,000 to 20,000 per day from 1 June. From 10 June, tourists will be allowed entry from low risk ‘Blue’ countries if booked onto a package tour accompanied by a guide. Find Out More: https://www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/covid-19/bordercontrol.html
