Japan will allow visa-free, independent tourism and abolish its daily arrival cap as of Oct. 11, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Thursday, marking a major policy shift after nearly 2½ years of strict COVID-19 restrictions.
The government will also launch a nationwide travel discount program, which had been shelved due to the spread of COVID-19 infections.
