Japan

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan

Japanese tourist visa applications require a detailed itinerary and typically ask for flight and accommodation reservations rather than purchased tickets.

What Japan commonly asks for

• A day-by-day itinerary (schedule of stay)
• Flight reservation showing entry and exit
• Accommodation reservation for the stay
• Proof of financial means

What this means in practice

Japanese consulates generally expect reservations, not paid tickets, at application. A verifiable held flight reservation and hotel booking match the checklist directly.
