Can I go to Japan with an American passport?

If you go to Japan for business, you can enter the country visa-free for 90 days with an American passport. If it is more than 90 days, you need to apply for a visa.

Other types require visas in advance.

American passport is a document issued by the United States to American citizens and American nationals for international travel. The holder is protected by American consular officials overseas. Passports are issued by the Consular Bureau of the State Council, and there are many offices and agencies in the United States. Passport applications submitted by overseas citizens are transferred back to the passport center by the local American embassy or consulate.

American passports conform to the specifications recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) (such as size, content, format, use technology, etc. ).

The State Council also issues passport cards, which are only valid for Americans who travel between the United States and destinations in Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean by land and sea (excluding air). A passport card is not a passport because it does not meet the specifications recommended by ICAO.

An American citizen does not have a passport (for example, his passport is stolen), but he can prove his American nationality by other means (for example, providing relevant personal identification materials), so even if he does not have a passport, he has the right to enjoy consular protection like a citizen or enter the United States as a citizen.
