🗾 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.DariSEK 1,660

This room size is just right for one person without luggage. I'm not sure what tier it falls into in Japan, but in China, it's probably on par with or slightly below a Hilton. I'd be willing to stay here again on my next trip to Tokyo. There's a Kyushu ramen place nearby that's quite good, but I wouldn't really recommend Yuzugumi (Oil Group).DariSEK 1,786

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.DariSEK 2,973

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.DariSEK 2,136

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.

I stayed at the Tokyo Dome Hotel from January 31st to February 3rd, 2026. The hotel's location is excellent, right next to Tokyo Dome, and it's just a 3-5 minute walk to either the subway or JR station. The lobby is spacious, and check-in and check-out are handled conveniently via self-service machines. Compared to other hotels in Japan, the rooms here are quite roomy and bright. We booked a twin room, and it was a very generous 33 square meters. The hotel features transparent glass observation elevators, offering views of the Tokyo Skytree. Do note that room prices at this hotel fluctuate significantly based on events at Tokyo Dome, with rates potentially doubling or more.DariSEK 870

It's a pity I forgot to take photos, but the hotel's location is undoubtedly excellent. I booked it because I saw that the hotel was renovated in 2025. I'm not sure about other rooms, but I was a bit disappointed with the connecting room I booked. The hotel's ambiance is great; I think the renovation mainly focused on the lobby and other public areas, which look very new. However, inside the room, it felt like only the wallpaper had been changed. You could still smell an old damp odor, and the lighting was quite dim. While connecting rooms are convenient for staying with parents, and the bathroom seemed newly renovated, the beds, carpets, and curtains really gave off an 80s guesthouse vibe. So, the room itself was a bit disappointing, but the exterior was fine. As for service, I found it somewhat mediocre. The hotel has quite a few Chinese staff. Honestly, I don't know how they treat foreign guests, but for Chinese guests, it was pretty average. Basic polite greetings felt perfunctory, and service speed was quite slow. The Sky Bar upstairs is nice. If you want a window seat with a panoramic view of Tokyo Tower, you need to book in advance or wait for about half an hour. It was quite late, so I didn't want to wait and sat in a booth further back. Do note that there's a seating charge for those booth seats. The view from the window is indeed fantastic, you can see the entire tower. Breakfast was also decent, and you could see Mount Fuji in the distance from the breakfast room.DariSEK 2,315

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.DariSEK 941

They had Starbucks coffee machine that wasn’t too bad in the lobby to get that quick drink. The only down side was the shuttle service to hotel.

The location is decent, and the rooms offer a good view of Tokyo Tower. There's a subway station right outside, but you'll need to transfer to get to Shinjuku, Shibuya, or Ginza. The room size is generous, but the price is quite high, and the facilities are definitely outdated. I stayed for 5 nights, and every single night there were loud drag races happening outside, which was incredibly annoying. The windows offer very poor soundproofing, making it extremely noisy; you pretty much won't get any peace before 1 AM. This is a real problem. Honestly, besides the Tokyo Tower view, there's not much else to write home about.DariSEK 950

Honestly, aside from the price, this hotel has no flaws. It has its own natural hot spring, free to use after 3 PM as long as you follow the communal bathing rules. After a thorough rinse, you can enjoy a relaxing soak. From 5 PM onwards, there's even complimentary alcohol served on the first floor.
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 service is incredibly attentive and meticulous. Every time you leave, someone at the front desk wishes you a safe journey. When checking out, someone at the door will open it, bow, and wish you a safe trip.
Downstairs, there's a ramen shop open until 4 AM, so even if you miss dinner sometimes, you're in the central Ginza area, with countless restaurants open until the early hours just a few steps away.

Hoshinoya Tokyo is situated in a tower in Otemachi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, uniquely blending a traditional Japanese garden with a high-rise hotel concept. While its immediate surroundings are dominated by corporate offices like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, its location isn't as prime as other similarly priced luxury hotels such as The Peninsula Tokyo or Bulgari, with a noticeable lack of nearby dining options or convenience stores.
The service, on the other hand, truly made guests feel at home. Each floor boasts a dedicated Japanese-style common area, but the atmosphere felt a bit too rigid or rule-bound. For example, when I asked for a second welcome dessert, it wasn't possible.
However, I would strongly advise against staying here for a business trip. Firstly, the hotel's policy of not allowing unregistered guests to enter is quite inconvenient and arguably unsuitable for a business-oriented establishment. Secondly, the hotel itself offers a rich array of experiences – from its two-Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant to kimono fittings, tea ceremonies, kendo classes, hot springs, and sightseeing bicycles. These features highlight its strong appeal for leisure travel, making it less ideal for business.habis dijual

We recently stayed at VIA INN PRIME NIHONBASHI as a group of three and had an excellent experience from start to finish.
Location is unbeatable. Being part of the JR-West group and right at Nihombashi station makes exploring Tokyo incredibly easy. Direct access to multiple subway and train lines meant we could get anywhere quickly. The neighborhood itself is great - less chaotic than some tourist hubs but with plenty of restaurants, convenience stores, and even the Mitsukoshi department store nearby.
The staff were exceptional. Everyone at the front desk was courteous, professional, and spoke good English. They were always ready to help with directions, luggage storage, or any small request, making us feel very welcome.
Breakfast was a highlight! The variety was impressive, offering a delicious mix of both Western and Japanese options. Everything was fresh, tasty, and replenished frequently. It was the perfect way to start our busy days of sightseeing.
We booked a triple room and were pleasantly surprised by the space. For a Tokyo hotel, it was very comfortable for three adults.

This was my first time visiting Tokyo, and I stayed at Agora for five days:
🤵♀️ During check-in, although the staff didn't speak Chinese, they provided detailed check-in instructions in Chinese. All the front desk staff I encountered during my stay had excellent attitudes.👍🏻
🧹 The hotel usually cleans rooms every three days. If you need daily cleaning, just put the magnetic sign from your room outside your door before noon on that day.
🛏️ I chose a twin room, and when I opened the door, I found they had pushed two single beds together. The size was decent, and two adults could sleep comfortably without feeling cramped.
📍 The location is excellent. Downstairs, there's a restaurant called Bansuke that serves delicious fried fish ochazuke. Just a short walk away, you'll find FamilyMart, Lawson, and 7-Eleven. There are also drugstores and restaurants at the large intersection outside.
🚇 Higashi-Ginza Station is just around the corner from the hotel entrance, making it very convenient to take the Asakusa Line and Hibiya Line. There's also an express train directly to the airport; just check Google Maps for the schedule. If you prefer to walk to Ginza Station, there's a dedicated underground passage, which is very convenient.
🛍️ If you want to go shopping, most malls are about a 10-minute walk away, and the street is quite lively.
💦 The only downside is that the room is indeed quite small, with barely enough space to lay one suitcase flat. But honestly, for this price, getting such a great location is already very satisfying.

❓FAQs About the Japan Arrival Card (Visit Japan Web)

Yes. Every traveller — even children — needs their own immigration and customs QR codes. Parents can register children under their own Visit Japan Web account.🔹8. Can I still fill in a paper form on the plane?
