Japan will open its doors back up to foreign tourists, after more than two years of closed borders due to the Covid pandemic.
Tourists will be able to visit the country without a visa, and will no longer need to go through a travel agency, from 11 October.
Taiwan will drop quarantine requirements for international arrivals by mid-October, while Hong Kong says it would move from hotel quarantine to stay-at-home requirements from 26 September.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida also announced a domestic travel incentive scheme that will give discounts on travel, theme park prices, sporting events, and concerts.
Japanese residents and citizens will be eligible for an 11,000 yen subsidy.
