Japanese passport holders may soon be able to travel to China without a visa, for the first time in more than four years, as the two countries work toward mending fences after a period of tension and in the face of rising protectionist threats.
According to two Japanese press reports, travel agencies in China have been informed that policy might be adjusted to once again allow for 15-day visa-free visits by Japanese nationals as early as the end of this month.
The privilege has been suspended since March 2020.
