Osaka, March 15th
Trip to Japan 2023

As we travel to Dubai International Airport, the scheduling is different than other times. With Finnair, for example, I would arrive early in the morning. So, I will get out of the airport and start my first day. With Emirates, I arrive past 17:00. So, even taking the Limited Express Rapi:t to Namba, we had only time for a short walk around Dotombori and headed to the hotel. We got to the hotel at 19:40. Tomorrow, it should be possible to start early.

This is the first time that I am back to Japan since 2019. There is a few things that have changed, but many that have not.

Now, the migration process can be done in an website before visiting the country. This requires some extra preparation before the trip, but entering the country is faster than ever.
