Of course whenever you go to a place, you have to prepare the flight tickets and visa. For Indonesia citizen, you can travel to Japan visa-free, but you have to possesed the E-passport. To those who doesn't have it, you have to apply for visa at Japan embassy by bringing these documents.
Even though it's visa-free for e-passport holder, you have to register your e-passport to Japan Embassy using visa waiver form (you can download the form here). And you're good to go!
Another thing that's most important in my own opinion is the data connection. You can buy tourist SIM Card from indonesia for approx IDR 300,000.-. I prefer to rent a mobile wi-fi as it would be cheaper if you travel with your friends. But, buy a SIM card would be more beneficial for you if you're a solo traveler.
What else? Don't forget to bring universal charger as the common plugs in Japan is 110V! Another things that you could consider to prepare are:
- JR Pass (if you travel a lot to another city using train)
- Amusement park tickets, buy the tickets online would avoid you to queue for a long time. Besides, some amusement park lime disneyland and disney sea have a visitor quota per day, so it would be better if you save your spot by booking it online
- Doraemon museum and ghibli museum ticket. These tickets can only be bought from lawson station in Japan. Better ask for your friend's help to get these, as both of them are unavailable for online purchase.
Other than that, pack your clothes and you're good to go!!

Tentu saja setiap kali kita pergi ke suatu tempat, kita harus mempersiapkan tiket pesawat dan visa. Nah, untuk warga negara Indonesia, perjalanan ke Jepang dapat dilakukan dengan bebas visa, tapi Anda harus punya E-passport. Untuk mereka yang belum memilikinya, maka harus mengajukan permohonan visa di Jepang kedutaan dengan membawa dokumen-dokumen ini.
Meskipun bebas visa berlaku untuk pemegang e-passport, Anda harus mendaftar e-passport ke Jepang Embassy menggunakan formulir visa (Anda dapat men-download formulir di sini). Setelah mendapatkan Visa, all set!
