Do I need a visa for North Korea from Japan?

Visa required

Travelling to North Korea on a Japan passport, you need a visa, arranged before you travel.

Getting into North Korea starts with a tour company, not an embassy. Approval comes through the tour company's own channel with North Korean officials, not a consulate near you.

Most itineraries route through Beijing, where the tour group forms up before the flight or train into Pyongyang. There is no route around the group structure, whatever the reason for the trip.
