  1. Great information as usual. Presume Visit Japan Web will direct a person to the new ESTA site when it becomes active. Keep the great videos and information coming. Thanks for what you do.

  2. We were in Japan few days ago, there are fake entry on line asking to entere all of your personal info and wanted to charged you abou 48 us dollars for the entry etc…. we did tried to pay was denied cause it was a scam my card did not go through…. when we got to the immigration line just scan the code and fillout the info there and no charge at all! Please becareful on line web… sometimes fake info to steer you to the wrong web too.
