Australian citizens or residents travelling to Japan are eligible for Japan’s visa exemption scheme for short-stay tourism and business travel (up to 90 days). So, Australians don’t generally need a visa to travel to Japan if you are staying for less than 90 days for tourism, business or transit. If you plan to travel to Japan for any other reason, or to work in Japan, contact a Japanese embassy or consulate in your state or city to verify your visa and entry requirements. 

As visa and entry requirements for Japan may change over time, it is your responsibility to verify visa requirements from a Japanese embassy or consulate.
