Japan's Justice Ministry has launched a new program to allow repeat visitors to Japan to complete the immigration entry process at unmanned gates.
Automated gates are already in use at four major airports — Narita, Haneda, Chubu Centrair and Kansai, but are available only for Japanese nationals and foreign residents of Japan who have pre-registered.
The new initiative opens the gate for frequent visitors, a Justice Ministry official said.
