| > I just got the news anyone who transit at Tokyo airport can stay in the city for up to

I just checked the Japanese Gov website on Visas etc. and you can find info on that on http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/02.html#c Especially it says: If the passengers of an airplane or ship that lands at an airport or seaport in Japan wish to enter Japan temporarily for shopping or rest, they can receive special landing permission from the immigration authority at the port of arrival even if they do not possess a visa. and later (ii) Permission for landing in transit for departure at a neighboring port Permission is granted to foreign passengers of an airplane or ship proceeding to another country via Japan who wish to enter Japan from their first port of call and then move to another port of call in a nearby area for departure. This permission is granted when a foreign passenger wishes to depart Japan within three days. Hope this helps! Joachim |
