When it comes to landing in Japan, there is SO MUCH confusion. In fact, I receive emails continuously about this problem. So, I finally 'buckled down' and developed a video that totally explains the entire problem. If you watch this video, it will end all confusion. By the end of this video, you won't make a common mistake that many tourists make when landing in Japan.
