I share my experience returning to Japan and reviewing the current re-entry procedures for residents. Sadly, unless you’re on a packaged tour, Japan still isn’t allowing tourists to visit yet.

I hope this helps those who are returning to Japan. I forgot to mention since I came from Canada, I am not required to quarantine. For regular tourists, it’s still unclear when Japan will allow tourists without packaged tours: https://tdrexplorer.com/when-will-japan-reopen/
Nothing like family and friends to refuel the soul. Awesome Sailor Moon shirt!
Love the sailor moon shirt
I’m planning to visit Japan this coming October only for few days and just to visit my sister who works there . And I’m Canadian/ Filipino as well , do you think it would be easy by then ? Thanks
Hopefully traveling to Japan in April! Your videos and tips make me even more excited to go! 😄
Hi I recently went to USJ and thank you so much for making these videos and since you made these vids I new all about USJ and new what rides and food to ride and eat there. You are awesome 👏🤩🙃
Hi Chris!! I’ve been binging your videos and I really love your content it makes me feel cozy and excited and like I’m in the theme parks/Japan too with you! 😀 we love you, you’re awesome! Hope you had a lovely time with your family. Thankyou for making the best videos.
Lucky u hopefully I could go in may
Got a paid trip for this Christmas! So excited to see Tokyo, even if it's gonna be cold haha^^
Hope you had a great time with your friends and family. I'm sure Japan welcomes you home. TDR misses you.
Do you have dual citizenship?
Went to the US from Japan last Christmas. Getting back was a hassle, PCR test at the airport, no public trans home and had to quarantine even though I'm vacced. Nice that it's gotten better.
Me and a group of friends are looking to perhaps take a trip to Japan to travel around June/July? Is it likely we will be able to do this or do you think it will still be so strict then?
Woah $250 for a PCR test that's insane! But they did come to you so maybe that's worth it? 🤔
Traveling nowadays is so stressful… so glad to see you back in Japan WELCOME NYO!!!
You were in Calgary! That’s where I live. It would’ve been cool to see you and say hi. Also I have the same Sailor Moon shirt. Glad you had a good trip back. Love your videos.
47 degrees! Sod visiting Japan in the summer.
Take a GOOD rest, we will patiently wait for the new update ; )
😊
For such a advanced country they sure are backwards . The rest of the world has moved on . Whose Japan blaming now for the record breaking daily covid cases ? They can’t blame foreigners haha looks like the mask are working out well . Screw Japan I’ll take my money else where
It’s so nice you got to spend so much time back with your family and friends. It’s been a long time since I’ve been home too. It does my heart good to see you are well. Always looking forward to your next video 💚
As much as I would love to visit, I’m waiting till more of the restrictions are lifted. I went to the US in May & that was a lot of work. Plus I got Covid there 😢 was expecting it so no big deal.
I'm going to hang on until March next year. After that it makes it a bit late to start planning an overseas trip, so if the borders aren't open by then, we will probably end up in the US. I don't want that, but my son would be pleased. Good to see you home again.
What airlines you took all Nippon airways or air canada
I’m glad you made it home safe and sound. Thanks for sharing.
This is so helpful! We are holding out for the borders to open soon soon/in the next year!
Did you do a lot of shopping at the US parks?! If so we need a merch haul!
Welcome Back Chris… Now… Time to Shine…
I’ll admit we were lucky to have a HUGE team helping us to get in, but it was the most complex procedure I’ve ever had to go through to travel not only preflight but after I landed as well!
As another Canadian who has been stuck in Japan and missing family… I am very curious if you had to quarantine upon your return to Japan?
I've watched a lot of videos about happened food and noticed the crust of the bread is always cut off of a lunch meat sandwich is this true
