    It applies only to Japanese and foreign citizens inoculated in Japan. Foreign visitors can show their own vaccine certificates at quarantine offices in Japan and some of them will be as good as Japan's new digital ones; such as Pfizer, Moderna, AZ, or COVISHIELD vaccinated in countries designated by Japan's health authorities. The Visit Japan Web facilitates all entry processes under one package, including customs clearance, immigration inspection and quarantine questionnaires. The Covid Vaccination app will help show the record of vaccination for the quarantine to judge its validity; both support entry procedures.
