Japan and South Korea are competing for the frontier of lifting restrictions in East Asia, followed by Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Now, South Korea is the country which has least restrictions for entry. Registration on Q-Code is the only requirement.
Japan requires 3 times vaccination or certificate of tested negative. In some cases, 3 days quarantine at home is required without 3 times vaccination.

Though Hong Kong and Taiwan lifted quarantine, multiple Covid tests remain.
