Japan is quintupling entry visa fees for visitors, but which tourists will be affected?

Stupid. Should be net worth based.
Makes sense from their perspective. They want to reduce the number of tourists and keep the ones loaded with cash coming
For some reason, I thought "Stupid." was answering the headline for a second.
Haha stupid tourists. IQ test at the border. ;)
People entering on the tourist waiver will not be affected, the last fees were set in 1978, it's still cheaper than some countries. That sounds fine to me as a resident.
