Visa

5.  (U) Holders of U.S. diplomatic or official passports must 
have a Japanese visa to enter Japan if they are on official 
business.  Travelers on a U.S. tourist (blue cover) passport may 
enter Japan as a tourist without a Japanese visa for up to 90

----------------- 
Threat Assessment 
----------------- 
 
7.  (U) Please note that travelers to Japan should have a copy of 
their orders and official ID card with them at the time of 
entry.  Also be advised that under no circumstances may weapons 
be brought into Japan.  Carrying a pocket knife (including a 
Swiss army-style knife, craft or hunting knife, box cutter, etc.) 
in public is forbidden.  Under Japanese law, carrying any such 
item in public, with a size exceeding 8 cm in length, 1.5 cm in 
width, and 2 mm in thickness can subject the person to arrest or 
detention. 
 
8.  (U) U.S. Government facilities worldwide remain at a 
heightened state of alert.  As the U.S. Government has reported 
in public announcements over the last several months, U.S. 
citizens and interests abroad may be at increased risk of 
terrorist actions from extremist groups, which may target 
 
TOKYO 00003554  002 OF 002 
 
 
civilians and include suicide operations.  Americans should 
increase their security awareness and avoid locations where 
Americans are generally known to congregate.  The Department will 
continue to develop information about potential threats to 
Americans overseas and to share credible threat information 
through its consular information program documents available on 
the internet at the Bureau of Consular Affairs homepage: 
http://www.travel.state.gov. 
 
9.  (U) Threat Assessment:  The events of September 11, 2001 
serve as a reminder of the continuing threat from terrorists and 
extremist groups to Americans and American interests 
worldwide.  This situation remains fluid and American citizens 
should be aware of the potential risks and take these into 
consideration when making travel plans.  The Department maintains 
information about potential threats to Americans overseas, which 
is available to travelers on the Internet at the Bureau of 
Consular Affairs' homepage:  http://www.travel.state.gov/.  The 
Embassy takes all threats seriously.  Embassy Tokyo can be 
contacted 24 hours a day at 03-3224-5000 (locally) or 81-3-3224- 
5000 (internationally). 
 
10.  (U) The general threat from crime in Tokyo and throughout 
Japan is low; well below the U.S. national average.  Violent 
crime is rare, but does exist.  The Japanese National Police 
report continued problems with thefts and pick pocketing of 
foreigners in crowded shopping areas of Tokyo.  Common sense 
security measures are advised for all American citizens traveling 
in Japan. 
 
11.  (U) Visitors are urged to maintain a high level of vigilance 
and to increase their security awareness.  Americans should 
maintain a low profile, vary routes and times for all required 
travel, and treat mail and packages from unfamiliar sources with 
suspicion.  Visitors are also urged to avoid contact with any 
suspicious, unfamiliar objects, and to report the presence of 
such objects to local authorities.  Vehicles should not be left 
unattended and should be kept locked at all times. 
 
-------- 
Currency 
-------- 
 
12.  (U) Japanese Yen.  Credit cards are widely accepted at most 
shops, restaurants and hotels.  However, some credit card 
companies may charge an international transaction fee.  Using 
Stateside credit cards for cash advances is limited and there are 
only a small number of ATMs that accept Stateside cards.  Twenty- 
four hour currency exchange facilities are available in the 
customs area and arrival lobby of the airport.
