Money well spent here

The best spot for me - the food shops in Tsutenkaku near Osaka Tower, konti lang tao, you can go around by bike, plus may malaking Don Quijote store where you can buy almost anything

Travel to Japan is already allowed for "SPECIAL PASSPORT" Holders, however issuance of VISA for regular passports holders are still on hold except for seafarers who are allowed entry to Japan to board their vessels.

Entering Japan at the moment is quite difficult even due to its very strict border control requirement and process which DO NOT EXEMPT even those holding DIPLO Visa.

When I entered Japan Mid of 2020, I was required to present a NEGATIVE RTPCR result taken not more than 72 hours before the flight. I was also required to submit the details of the PRIVATE Vehicle that I will be using from the Entry Port to the accredited quarantine facility or hotel/residence. 

Upon disembarkation from the Airplane we need to go through a process that includes an RTPCR Testing where we waited for about 3 hours for the results. Once you get the NEGATIVE result that's the only time that we were allowed to proceed to the Immigration Counters and finally the Custom Area and the exit. At the Exit Area another Border Control Officer will assist you to your service vehicle. The Border Control Officer will then check the details of the vehicle against the one you submitted to the Japanese Embassy before your visa was released.

Even with a NEGATIVE RTPCR result, I was required to be quaratined for 14 days in the hotel i selected among the accredited/designated quaranting area.  I was allowed to checked out from the hotel on the 15th day. 

The whole process is not really FAVORABLE/ADVISABLE for TOURIST as you would be spending a lot of time in the hotel and money of course for the quarantine requirement. The quarantine alone cost my employer about PhP200K for the hotel and 3 meals a day.

Parang mahirap pa til now. Around Q3 of 2021 may mga nagreready na for English Language teachers sana for 2022 kaya lang dahil sa rising cases and omicron baka magbago.

Best way nga are special VISAs nalang and I think malabo pa kahit working VISA.
