Planning Notes for 2025
Japanese embassies require applicants to submit files via accredited agencies in many countries. Confirm whether your jurisdiction permits direct applications. For peak seasons (March–April cherry blossom and July–August summer travel) secure slots 6 weeks ahead. Carry a printed itinerary—the consulate staff often ask clarifying questions about daily plans.
