Japan Launches JESTA Tourist Controls

March 10, 2026·24 days ago·via 毎日新聞

Japan rolls out the JESTA system, tightening immigration checks for foreign tourists in 2026. This digital gateway streamlines yet scrutinizes entries to samurai castles, volcanic hot springs, and Hiroshima's poignant peace parks. Visitors prepare with pre-registered biometrics and travel docs for swift processing at Narita or Haneda. It enhances security without dimming the allure of ramen-scented alleys or Hokkaido's snow-draped peaks.
