Visit Japan soon? There are few of conditions apply YET!

Slowly opening the gate for international tourists into Japan (as of 7th June 2022).
One of the last countries in the world, Japan is still keeping its borders closed to foreign tourists until yesterday that it was announced that Japan will reopen its borders to travellers but only for guided tours from pre-approved 98 countries from June 10, and to visit Japan as a tourist, the following three conditions will apply:
Travellers must visit Japan on a guided tour with predetermined itinerary that is organized by a Japan-based travel agency or operator. The travel agency or operator will handle application procedures and be held responsible for the tour participants.
Travellers must have spent the 14 days before arrival in Japan in a country on the “blue list” of currently 98 countries, including most countries in North America, East Asia, Europe and Oceania which include Australia and New Zealand.
During their stay, travellers must adhere to basic infection prevention measures, such as wearing masks and disinfecting hands, and they need to be enrolled in a travel insurance plan that covers medical expenses related to the coronavirus.
A negative result from a PCR test taken within 72 hours prior to departure is required to enter Japan; however, there will be no test and no quarantine upon arrival in Japan.
Sounded like a very complicated procedure to follow. It remains unknown when independent tourists will be able to enter Japan freely again.
Please consult with your travel agent for update of visiting Japan conditions.
We all hope we can visit Japan freely without any conditions
