Entry to Japan

[mj_holiday]

For those who have recently boarded a cruise in Japan, could you please give some detail for the QR code and the entry requirements for Covid vaccinations.  I watched a very well done you tube of a cruise starting in Japan.  They explained the entry requirements and that a QR code is the best way.  One of the things to fill out is about Covid vaccinations and something about whether or not to quarantine.  Well, we just received the current Covid vaccine and the person who gave us the vaccines said they no longer fill out the CDC white cards.  Do we just need to prove we got the initial vaccine and booster or that we have the latest vaccine.

 

Any information will be helpful.

I kept the receipt with pertinent info and stapled it to the white CDC card.

That makes sense, but what is entered in the Japanese system online for the info.

Effective as of midnight April 29, 2023 (Japan time), all travelers arriving in Japan will no longer need to present proof of vaccination or a negative Covid-19 test certificate. For more info: https://www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/covid-19/bordercontrol.html.

I was going to say - just back from Japan and didn’t need any proof of vaccinations etc. They take your fingerprints on arrival but at every port their customs and immigration folk are courteous, helpful and friendly.
