Excuse us as we check on ticket prices to Japan
Singaporeans really, really want to travel to Japan. According to a YouGov survey, it’s the most considered holiday destination among Singaporeans – and it’s not hard to see why, with its fresh and delicious cuisine, top-notch sake breweries, rich cultural attractions, and other hidden gems to explore.
The only reason that Singaporeans have not been flocking to the country now that travel has restarted is down to the strict regulations around entering Japan. But it looks like that’s about to change – with news outlets like Nikkei Asia signalling a potential easing of entry rules.
According to Japanese news outlets, the country’s government is considering an end to Covid-19 pre-departure testing rules. If confirmed, tourists entering Japan will no longer have to produce a negative test result taken within 72 hours of departure. This could take effect in as soon as a few weeks time.
Japan is also weighing the possibility of doubling the number of tourists allowed to enter the country. The current cap stands at 20,000, but it could be raised to 50,000 as soon as next month.
That’s a lot of ‘could’s and ‘maybe’s – it all depends on Japan’s Covid-19 case counts. Whatever it is, you can bet that we’ve got our fingers and toes crossed for good news. Stay tuned for more updates.
