Malaysia travelers do not need a VISA to enter Japan due to both countries great relationships for decades. We still remember the hassle of applying visa over 10 years ago when we tried to visit Japan and then cancelled due to the Fukushima earthquake and tsunami.
Please do not abuse the free travel visa system by the Japanese government. With this incident, there will be more random checks on Malaysia travelers by Japan Custom from time to time. It will be a hassle for genuine travelers to Japan.
For now, there are Three Malaysians Caught in Kansai Airport Japan for Smuggling Drugs with stimulants of 2997 grams. Safe travels to Japan everyone and please don’t do illegal things.
