There will be more and more Vietnamese travellers to Japan after October 11 as the country fully reopened to foreigners, the office said.

Travellers from around the world are able to enter Japan if they show proof of triple vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test result.

To attract more tourists, the JNTO Vietnam has launched a communication campaign named 'Japan Welcomes You Back' with diverse promotional activities.

The Japanese government will also launch a tourism stimulus plan, including a nationwide tourism discount programme.
