Japan Increases Visa Fees for Foreign Visitors

The Japanese government has agreed to increase visa fees. The cost of a single-entry visa will rise from 3,000 yen to 15,000 yen.

Fees for multiple-entry visas will also increase, going from 6,000 yen to 30,000 yen.

The Japanese Foreign Minister, Toshimitsu Motegi, says this change will not greatly affect tourism in Japan.

People are walking in the Harajuku shopping area in Tokyo, Japan. This area is popular with tourists.

After the pandemic, many people have traveled to Japan, helping the country's tourism and economy.

However, in May, fewer people from China visited Japan, causing a decrease in foreign visitors.

The Japan National Tourism Organization reports that over 3.55 million people visited Japan last month, which is 3.6% less than the previous year.
