Visa & Entry

German passport holders can enter Japan visa-free for stays up to 90 days. No advance registration or eTA is required. Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay. At immigration you will receive a "temporary visitor" status stamped in your passport.

Japan requires all incoming travelers to complete the Visit Japan Web form at vjw.digital.go.jp before arrival. Register your passport, flight details, and customs declaration online. You get a QR code to scan at immigration and customs. Fill it out a few days before your flight.

The 90-day visa-free stay cannot be extended for tourism. If you need more time, you must leave and re-enter, though immigration may question repeated short visits. For work or study, apply for the appropriate visa at the Japanese embassy in Berlin before departure.

Getting to FRA

S-Bahn lines S8 and S9 run from Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (main station) to Terminal 1 every 15 minutes (15 min, €5.65 single or included in a Frankfurt day ticket). ICE and IC long-distance trains serve the airport's own long-distance station (Fernbahnhof); this is separate from the S-Bahn Regional station and connects Frankfurt to Cologne, Stuttgart, Munich, and other cities without requiring travel through the city centre.Taxis from the city centre cost €25–35 and take 15–25 minutes. Terminal 2 connects to Terminal 1 via the free SkyLine people mover.

Getting from HND

Keikyu Line to Shinagawa (13 min, ¥310) and Tokyo Monorail to Hamamatsucho (18 min, ¥500) both connect to JR and Tokyo Metro networks. Terminal 3 (international) has direct access to both rail lines.Limousine buses serve Shinjuku, Shibuya, and major hotels (¥1,100, 40–60 min depending on traffic). Taxis to central Tokyo run ¥3,500–5,500. Haneda's proximity to Tokyo means ground transport is faster and cheaper than from Narita in virtually all cases.

Tokyo Climate

Humid subtropical climate. Summers (June–September) are hot and humid (28–35°C) with a rainy season in June and typhoons possible July through October. Typhoons occasionally divert or cancel flights, but direct hits on Tokyo are less frequent than farther south. Humidity peaks in July and August.

Winters are cold and dry (2–10°C) with occasional light snow. Even minor snowfall disrupts Tokyo's ground operations since the city is not equipped for winter road treatment. Spring (April) is pleasant but windy. Fall (October–November) offers the best flying conditions.
