As the title says, I hope to visit Japan for a few days at the beginning of September. I'm currently on an E2 visa in Korea and am wondering if there's anything I need to do to get in to Japan or even get back into Korea regarding my visa. Oh, and I have a UK passport.

Q: I am a British national and am intending to stay in Japan for sightseeing for 6 months. Do I need a visa?
A: A British citizen who has a British ordinary passport does not need to obtain a “Temporary Visitor Visa”, as long as the purpose of stay is for the activities permitted within the status of residence of “Temporary Visitor” and the period of stay is 6 months or less, as the visa exemption agreement between Japan and the UK will apply. In principle, a period of stay of 90 days may be given at immigration control at the airport. If you wish to continue staying in Japan for more than 90 days, you need to apply for an extension of your period of stay at a regional immigration bureau before the original period of stay expires.

As long as you ARC is good, you just go to Japan, enjoy, and come back..

ARC, Passport, Return Ticket and Details on Accommodation are the only requirements to travel to Japan.

You may want to make sure you have a multiple entry visa (to get back into Korea).
