The Japanese government has talked about relaxing border controls, so that it can be easier for tourists to come to the country.

This step of the Japanese government will make travel easier for tourists visiting Japan. They will be helped to a great extent by the exemption given by the government. 

Decision expected by October

Let us tell you that before the corona virus epidemic, Japan did not require tourist visas for 68 countries and provinces, but when the epidemic started spreading all over the world, then the government took a decision in this regard and for all Tourist visa was made mandatory. According to the information, the Japanese government may end the daily limit of tourists visiting the country by October.
