🇯🇵Japan Visa
Good news: Turkish citizens can visit Japan visa-free for up to 90 days as tourists, ordinary passports included. The waiver has been in place since 2011 and covers every Turkish passport type. Your passport just needs to be machine-readable, and that's all the paperwork Tokyo asks of you.
