Japan - Online arrival card

[Aeryn]

Can anyone please share link to the website or is it an app to do electronic arrivals card for Japan?

Google seems to surface sites that want you to pay $ for an ESTA type thing, whereas it is my understanding from smart traveler website that Aussies do not need an e-visia for stays of less than 30 days.

Ignore anything that is ESTA. Japan is still free and visa on arrival situation.

The enshittification of google searches but that is another issue...

Another option is just to fill out the paper forms, some airlines still hand them out on flights.

If you can't get a paper form from the flight, they are available in the immigration lines/hall when you arrive. Just bring a pen and something to lean on as you fill it in. Unless it's completely clear of passengers, you'll have plenty of time to fill out the form before you get to the "preprocessing" terminals.

There are two forms you need to fill in: an immigration form and a customs form. The former is handed in at the immigration desks; the latter is handed in at the customs desks (after baggage claim). Again, if you don't fill in the electronic version, paper customs forms are available before you get to the customs desks.
