Visit Japan Web Guide 2026: How to Register Your Japan Entry QR Code

^{Hi there.}
^{Let’s head out together again—}
^{I’m travel blogger}^Sseoz^{and welcome back.}

^{If you’re getting ready for a trip to Japan,}
^{you’ve probably come across Visit Japan Web at least once.}

^{The first time you use it, it’s easy to wonder how much you actually need to fill out,}
^{what to enter for your hotel address,}
^{and where exactly to find the QR code.}
^{It’s more confusing than it looks.}
^{I use it every time I travel to Japan,}
^{so this time I’m breaking it down step by step in the exact order you’ll need.}

1. Access Visit Japan Web First

^{Visit Japan Web is something you fill out}
^{before arriving in Japan.}

^{It lets you register the information needed for immigration}
^{and customs in advance.}

^{If it’s your first time using it,}
^{start by signing up with your email address.}
^{You can access the official site through the link below.}

^{Visit Japan Web Official Site}

Visit Japan Web | Digital Agency Services

It’s a web service where you can register the information needed for arrival procedures (immigration and customs) and tax-free shopping.

services.digital.go.jp

^{When you first log in,}
^{you’ll start by entering your personal information.}
^{At this stage,}^{your passport}^{is required.}

^{Have your passport ready before you begin.}

^{You can scan it with your camera,}
^{or enter the details manually if the scan doesn’t work well.}

^{Mine doesn’t always scan properly,}^so
^{I sometimes just type everything in myself.}

^{Once your passport is registered,}
^{just double-check that your passport number and name}
^{are entered correctly.}

2. Register Your Travel Itinerary

^{Next, enter the details for this Japan trip.}

^Here,
^{you’ll need your arrival date in Japan, flight number, and accommodation details.}
^{That’s basically it.}

^{I usually keep my passport and flight booking}
^{open side by side while filling it out.}

^{For the flight number,}
^{just copy it exactly as it appears on your ticket.}
^{For your hotel address in Japan,}
^{it’s easiest to check your booking app or Google Maps.}

^{I usually save my hotel on Google Maps,}
^{so I just pulled it up there and entered the address from that.}

3. Fill Out Immigration and Customs

^{Once you’ve done that,}
^{you’re almost finished.}

^{Next, answer the arrival questions}^and
^{continue straight through to the customs declaration.}

^{It helps to think of this as}
^{the same information you used to write on paper forms, just entered in Visit Japan Web ahead of time.}

^{Since the answers depend on your own situation,}
^{read each question carefully and check the right option.}
^{If something seems unclear,}
^{don’t just skip it—go through it slowly, one item at a time.}

4. Check Your QR Code

^{After you finish everything,}
^{the QR code will appear at the bottom.}

^{This is what you’ll use after landing in Japan,}
^{so it’s a good idea to open it in advance.}

^{I always}^{save a screenshot of the QR code too.}

^{On my recent trip to Obihiro,}
^{my eSIM didn’t start working right away after arrival,}
^{so I temporarily had no internet connection.}

^{For situations like that,}
^{having a screenshot of the QR code makes things much easier.}

^{So for my next trip, I switched to}
^{a Japan eSIM with more reliable coverage.}

5. Frequently Asked Questions

^{Q. When should I fill out Visit Japan Web?}

^{I usually do it}^{the day before departure or at the airport.}

^{If you do it at the airport,}
^{you already have your passport and flight details in hand,}
^{so it can actually be easier to enter everything on the spot.}

^{You usually have more waiting time than you think before boarding,}

^{so that’s still plenty of time.}
^{That said, don’t leave it until the very last minute before boarding—}
^{it’s better to finish it when you have a little breathing room.}

^{Q. Is there anything I should be careful about when filling it out?}

^{Your passport number,}
^{flight number,}
^{hotel address,}
^{and arrival date.}
^{Check those one more time,}

^{and make sure to save a screenshot of the QR code at the end.}

^{If it’s your first time using Visit Japan Web,}
^{the first screen can look a little overwhelming.}
^{But once you go through it step by step,}
^{it actually gets done pretty quickly.}

^{If you’re preparing for a trip to Japan,}
^{make sure you complete it before departure.}
