Trusted Expertise Through Japan’s Reopening
Our reputation for reliability and customer care was proven during the global pandemic, when we continued operating safely with resilience and dedication. When Japan reopened in late 2022, the first flights from the U.S. quickly filled with guests who obtained their visas through our support.
At that time, Japan required an ERFS certificate—a government-issued approval allowing foreign travelers to enter under strict health protocols. Only select agencies were authorized to issue it.
As one of the few U.S.-based companies familiar with these requirements, Japan Adventure Club successfully secured ERFS documents for American and Canadian travelers eager to return. With us, you can trust that even the most complex procedures are handled smoothly, ensuring a seamless and worry-free journey.
