🗾 Headed to Japan? Don’t Forget This One Arrival Step! I just got back from an amazing trip to Japan — sakura in Tokyo, ramen in Osaka, and a spontaneous day trip to Nara to feed the deer 🦌🍜. Everything was perfect… except for one small hiccup I almost made: I nearly forgot to fill in the Japan Arrival Card (via the Visit Japan Web system). 😅
If you’re a fellow Malaysian planning your dream trip to Japan — whether it’s your first time or your fifth — trust me, this one tiny step will save you a ton of time at immigration. And yes, it’s completely online and 100% free. 🙌
So before you get lost in planning your Kyoto itinerary or hunting for sushi spots in Tsukiji 🎏, let me walk you through the Japan Arrival Card process — step by step — so you can breeze through immigration like a pro. 🛂
📄 What’s the Japan Arrival Card?
The Japan Arrival Card, officially part of the Visit Japan Web system, is a digital immigration and customs form you fill out online before arriving in Japan. ✨
It’s Japan’s way of modernizing and speeding up the arrival process — no more fumbling for paper forms on the plane or stressing out at the immigration counter!
🔍 In simple terms, it’s:
- A digital replacement for the paper disembarkation and customs forms
- Completed online before your flight ✈️
- Contains your passport, trip, and accommodation info
- Generates QR codes that you’ll scan at the airport upon arrival 🛃
🛃 Why Is It Important?
- ✅ Faster entry at the airport
- ✅ Avoids filling forms on the plane ✍️
- ✅ Makes immigration and customs smoother
- ✅ Required for QR code entry lanes at most airports in Japan
🧾 Is This a Visa?
Nope! Malaysians enjoy visa-free entry to Japan for up to 90 days 🙌
The Japan Arrival Card (Visit Japan Web) is not a visa. It’s simply part of the immigration and customs clearance process — and it helps you skip paperwork at the airport.
👥 Who Needs to Use It?
If you’re a Malaysian passport holder visiting Japan for tourism, business, or visiting friends/family, you should complete the Visit Japan Web arrival process.
This applies if:
- You’re arriving by air
- You’re staying short-term (less than 90 days)
- You don’t hold a Japan residence card

This is the hotel I always stay at whenever I visit Tokyo, and it never disappoints.
The location is fantastic. Since the Prince Hotel is right across the street, there are plenty of excellent restaurants and dining options nearby, which is a huge plus.
Transportation is also incredibly convenient. Moving to major districts like Shinjuku, Ginza, and Shibuya by train/subway is fast and easy. If you are looking for a central base in Tokyo with great food and accessibility, I highly recommend staying here.DariPLN 794

Ginza/Tsukiji Tokyo|0.49km dari pusat bandar
The location is fantastic, making it super convenient for exploring Ginza. From the hotel lobby, you can see the Tokyo Tower 🗼, and there's a lovely lounge area where you can relax and snap some great night photos of the tower – it's really impressive. Some rooms at the hotel also offer Tokyo Tower views; you can request this before check-in, but it depends on the room type you've booked. We had a triple room, and unfortunately, it wasn't facing the Tokyo Tower. We stayed on the 21st floor, and the night view was absolutely stunning – definitely worth it! Breakfast was also excellent.
I didn't take many photos inside the hotel, but this is a shot of the Tokyo Tower night view from the hotel lobby. It's even more beautiful in person.DariPLN 836

Stepping into the lobby of the Imperial Hotel Tokyo, which opened in 1890, I was immediately captivated by the century-old elegance – it truly lives up to its reputation as Japan's 'state guesthouse' 💫.
Located in the heart of Chiyoda Ward, it's just a 3-minute walk from Hibiya Station, and a 5-minute stroll to Ginza's famous shopping street. With direct views of the Imperial Palace and the lush greenery of Hibiya Park, it perfectly combines convenience and tranquility in central Tokyo.
The rooms blend classic and modern styles. The custom SleepWorks mattress offers just the right firmness, and the MIKIMOTO saltwater pearl-infused bath amenities add a touch of exclusive luxury. Some rooms even offer direct views of the Imperial Palace, allowing you to wake up to the morning sun streaming through the windows – a truly atmospheric experience.
What impressed me most was the meticulous service: bellhops keep loose change handy for currency exchange, the laundry service has even earned praise from Hollywood stars, and the attentive guidance from kimono-clad attendants – every detail embodies the essence of Japanese *omotenashi*.
With 17 distinctive restaurants, there's something for everyone. The French cuisine is exquisite and refined, while the Japanese dishes are incredibly fresh and soulful. The Old Imperial Bar's whiskey selection is a favorite among politicians and business elites. The 21st-floor heated pool and high-end fitness center offer city views while you exercise.
In this century-old hotel, which subtly incorporates Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural aesthetics, enjoying a custom meal and a classic cocktail made me truly understand that Tokyo's high-end escapes have always been hidden within these time-honored treasures.DariPLN 976

The location is fantastic! It's less than 100 meters from Kyushu Ramen, and Yu-gumi (a popular bathhouse) is also nearby. There's a great yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant next door with excellent quality meat. You're surrounded by food options, and Don Quijote and Lawson are also very close. It's super convenient to drop off your shopping bags at the hotel after a stroll in Ginza, or just head back for a quick rest if you're tired. Getting to other places is a breeze too, as the subway station entrance is right downstairs. The bed is large, and the bathroom and shower are separate, both quite spacious. For one person, the room size feels just right, but it might be a bit snug for two people or if you have two large suitcases.DariPLN 944

Our overall experience at the hotel was excellent. They tried their best to accommodate all our requests before check-in, such as a quiet, non-smoking room near the elevator. As soon as we got out of the car, staff came to help with our luggage and took it directly to our room. For all 8 days of our stay, the room was cleaned impeccably every day. The view of Tokyo Bay from the window was stunning.

The hotel is conveniently located near several subway stations, with Akabanebashi Station being the closest. The front desk offers Chinese-speaking service, and we were assisted by Mr. Fu, who was incredibly warm and attentive. Other staff members were also very friendly and proactive, making us feel right at home. Our room on the 27th floor had a partial view of Tokyo Tower, which was stunning from day to night, offering a very open and expansive view. Shiba Park and Zojoji Temple are right next to the hotel, perfect for a stroll. The room itself was very spacious and well-equipped, with a separate shower and bathtub. There's a supermarket and a gym on the hotel's B2 level. We booked a room that included complimentary access to the executive club lounge, which was excellent value. We enjoyed food and drinks from afternoon check-in until 9:30 PM, and several of the wines were superb. For breakfast the next day, I recommend going early as the Japanese set is limited and runs out quickly. We were lucky enough to get the last two!DariPLN 980

Room and bed were very comfortable, immaculately clean and modern. 2 mins walk from train station, if you need lift access to train then a 6 mins walk, we had a stroller.
Breakfast was a bit of a zoo, we went during Christmas, very busy! But tables were spacious so even though there were so many people you don’t feel cramped. Good variety of food selection. We had dinner at the Japanese teppanyaki restaurant. Delicious, especially the tuna salad.
I found the lobby staff a little lack of personality, at check in, no mentioning of where breakfast will be, what time check out is. Just checked you in and that’s it, no personal notes in the room. When I expressed I’ve lost my phone at the shop in Tokyo, no sign of empathy (it was a western male staff) no gesture of helpfulness, very cold and robotic. This goes for concierge also, he is an older western gentleman, he needs to use Google translate also which is frustrating cause I could do exactly the same research with Google translate.
Overall, hardware is solid, need to fine tune the staff, sprinkle a little bit of personality in them.DariPLN 1,505

This hotel is super easy to find! Just take exit 3a, turn right, walk straight down the alley, then turn right at the traffic light. It's the second building. The triple room was a bit cramped for opening our luggage, but everything else was great. It was quiet, perfect for relaxing. There are four convenience stores nearby (two Family Marts across the street from the subway, and a Lawson on the same block). They even provide disposable toiletries, which you can grab from a shelf next to the front desk. For nearly 1000 MYR a night for a triple room, the breakfast was a letdown, especially for a Malaysian like me. All they had was plain congee. I ended up buying bread from the convenience store. My kids ate plain rice with seaweed soup. No sunny-side-up eggs, not even the most basic options, so the breakfast definitely isn't worth it.DariPLN 428

Every day, you can choose free pajamas and pillows, with various softness and firmness options available. There's an ice machine on each floor, where you can also get iced water.
Fresh and clean bath towels and other linens are provided daily.

The hotel was better than expected. Although the room was only 16 square meters, it didn't feel cramped at all for two people. I left a note asking for an upgrade to a higher floor, and they put us on the 11th floor, which was great.
The hotel's location is excellent, just about a 5-minute walk from the Higashi-Ginza exit. It's also super convenient for getting to Ginza itself. However, the subway exit has stairs, so it's best to use the escalator on the opposite side, near the Kabuki-za.
What impressed me most was the breakfast, which offered three different bento boxes daily: Yamakai smoke (Mountain, Sea, Smoke). The ”Mountain” was a chicken cutlet bento, the ”Sea” was a salmon bento, and the ”Smoke” was a tempura bento. My personal favorite was the salmon bento. It seemed like the ingredients came fresh from the Tsukiji Market. Of course, if you're not keen on bento, it's very easy to walk to Tsukiji Market from here.DariPLN 512
