The Japan Transit Visa is a Short-Stay Visa for travellers who have to spend time in Japan while travelling to another country. With this visa, you can carry out sightseeing as well as take some rest.
If you go to your home for 24 hours after entering Japan, only then you will be able to use public transportation.
Travellers entering Japan, including those of Japanese nationality, will be denied entry unless they present a valid certificate of a COVID-19 test result that is negative.
