Japan is more than doubling the number of daily arrivals as a further easing of its coronavirus entry restrictions.

Starting on Wednesday, the cap on daily arrivals to Japan is raised to 50,000 from 20,000.

All arrivals, including Japanese nationals, are exempt from submitting proof of a negative coronavirus test if they've received their third vaccine shot.

All foreign tourists are allowed to travel in Japan without guides. That replaces the rule stipulating only tourists from designated countries and territories are allowed to enter Japan, and they are required to join escorted tours.

The government said it aims to strike a balance between infection prevention measures and social and economic activities.

Kishida earlier expressed his hope to further relax measures to the same levels as other Group of Seven countries. He said he would make a decision after assessing infection situations in and out of the country as well as needs and border control measures taken by other countries.

The government plans to consider raising the entry cap on arrivals even higher, and further easing restrictions on foreign nationals.

The Japanese government says a pro-Russian hacker group is suspected of having launched what is known as a DDoS attack on the government network.

The Digital Agency says the government's multiple systems are believed to have been attacked from overseas on Tuesday afternoon. Massive amounts of data are sent in a DDoS attack to make websites inaccessible.

Access was disrupted on Tuesday to some websites, including the "e-Gov" portal site that provides administrative information.

A pro-Russian hacker group named Killnet posted a message on social media on Tuesday to claim credit for the attack.

The group has also used the DDoS method in its cyberattacks in other countries.


Key words : funeral cost

Japan's ruling and opposition camps have agreed to hold a meeting on Thursday to discuss the state funeral of late former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo.

Abe was fatally shot during an election campaign speech in July. His funeral is scheduled for September 27 in Tokyo. The government will foot the entire bill, which is estimated at about one 1.66 billion yen, or about 11.5 million dollars.

Executives of the Lower House steering committee met on Wednesday and agreed to hold the out-of-session Diet meeting on Thursday afternoon. A question-and-answer session is scheduled following briefings by Prime Minister Kishida Fumio and Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno Hirokazu.

The ruling and opposition sides also agreed that the meeting will last up to about 90 minutes.

Constitutional Democratic Party lawmaker Ryu Hirofumi, who is the leading opposition executive of the steering committee, told reporters that the state funeral has yet to win wide public understanding. Expressing concern that the total costs of the funeral could grow, he said he hopes to fully discuss the matter at the upcoming meeting.

A similar meeting is likely to be held at the Upper House following Thursday's meeting.

China and South Korea marked the 30th anniversary of diplomatic ties on Wednesday. In business terms, the relationship is stronger than ever, with China now South Korea's largest trading partner. But the deepening rift between Washington and Beijing has left the two Asian neighbors at a crossroads.
