The boy was standing in front of the show window of Ginza Wako
When I go to Ginza, there are so many foreign tourists. Although I did not actually check, there were many people walking around who appeared to be from Asian countries, and among them, those who appeared to be from China stood out. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, China and Japan do not have a visa waiver agreement, but there were many people who came to Japan. Of course, some of the people I assumed to be Chinese may have passports that allow them to stay in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, etc., visa free. Still, I get the impression that many of them are from mainland China.
As of the end of June 2024, Chinese nationals need to apply for a temporary visitor visa to enter Japan. This in turn means that Japanese need to apply for a visa to enter China. In other words, I have to obtain a visa to visit Kashgar, a place I would like to visit. Unlike India's e-VISA, which can be completed online (in fact, I was able to get a multiple visa easily), getting a Chinese visa is apparently "a pain in the ass". I did a little research and found that the hurdles for a Chinese visa are high from the start. It seems that you have to get the airline ticket before the visa. If the visa is not issued even though the airline ticket has been secured, it would be a real problem. I don't want to apply for a visa until the visa is actually issued.
