1. Entry card
Please fill in the necessary items after getting the exit entry card in the plane.

On April 1, 2016, the entry administration of the Ministry of justice of Japan simplified and updated the Japanese entry cards for foreigners.
In the past, the old version of the immigration record card was divided into front and back. On the right side of the front was the entry information, and on the left was the departure information. After entering the country, the departure information will be torn off and nailed on the passport by the Japanese entry examiner, and then torn off when leaving the country.
The new version is not so troublesome. The new form no longer includes gender, occupation, passport number and yen amount. It's very important to fill in the entry form. Please refer to the following to fill in it. Try not to alter it.
When filling in the entry card, you should pay attention to:
1) Due to the different meanings of Chinese and Japanese characters, it is suggested that the entry card should be written in English or Japanese as far as possible in order to avoid misunderstanding when checking the passport or inability of inspectors to interpret it. In particular, you should write down the name and address of the accommodation in the place of "Japan contact first (Japan contact address)", and leave the information that can contact you in the telephone part (tourists usually write the information about hotels or B & B) So as to reduce the possibility of being asked for supplementary information by customs officers.
2) The number of days of stay in Japan during the given period (expected stay in Japan) shall be calculated from the date of departure, including the total number of days of stay on the day of return. For example, if you leave on 4 / 1 and return on 4 / 5, fill in 5 days.
3) The writing order of the date of birth is' day, month and year ', for example, 01 (day) 04 (month) 2016 (year). Remember that the date and month should not be reversed!
2. Declaration form
The declaration form is easy to fill in, and the blank spaces are regular. (a family only needs to fill in one form. If friends travel together, one person needs to fill in one.
The a side of the declaration form must be filled in, while the B side is the supplementary items of some luggage items. If you don't need to fill in, you should fill in truthfully.
The articles brought into Japan should be declared to the customs in written form; if the articles are beyond the duty-free scope, the declaration form of separated transport baggage of the articles should be submitted. At the same time, when carrying gold (gold bars, gold nuggets, etc.) not more than 1kg, but the total price with other items exceeds the duty-free range of 200000 yen, regardless of the weight and purity, it is necessary to fill in the baggage declaration form for separate transportation of the carried goods, and pay the corresponding taxes.
If you carry more than 1 million yen of cash and other securities or more than 1kg of gold (gold bars, gold nuggets, etc., with purity of more than 90%), you need to fill in the declaration form of carrying and exporting, such as means of payment, in addition to the declaration form of carrying and transporting separated luggage. The customs will open the package for inspection. But it's usually just a matter of opening the bag and asking if it's compliant.
