- Category:Tourism
Japan and South Korea plan to set up dedicated entry lanes for tourists visiting each other's countries at four airports in June to speed up the immigration process, as the month marks the 60th anniversary of the normalization of their diplomatic ties, government sources said Friday.
The lanes will be introduced for one month at Haneda airport in Tokyo, Fukuoka airport in southwestern Japan, as well as Gimpo in Seoul and Gimhae in Busan, according to the sources.
The system can be used by tourists and other visitors who meet certain conditions such as having recently made trips between the two nations. They will need to take some procedures in advance.
Japan and South Korea, although often fraught with historical and territorial disputes, have become popular mutual tourist destinations in recent years, with many people attracted to each other's culture such as pop music, drama and food.
A record high of over 12 million people travelled between the two neighbors last year, according to the Japanese Foreign Ministry.
Tokyo and Seoul signed on June 22, 1965, a basic treaty that led to the normalization of their diplomatic relations.
