Do U.S. Citizens need a Passport or Visa to Enter Japan?
In order to legally enter Japan all travelers must have a passport that is valid for at least six months after the date of entry. In the case of NanoJapan students this means you must have a passport valid through November 30. Students who do not have a U.S. passport or whose passports will expire prior to November 30 should review the U.S. Department of State Passport website for information on the application and renewal process. US citizens do not require a visa to enter Japan for a stay of up to 90 days through a visa exemption agreement.
