San Marino
Japan passport holders do not need a visa to visit San Marino for stays of up to 30 days.
San Marino's Foreign Ministry says a foreigner's stay of more than 30 days requires a permit of stay or residence; anyone intending to stay longer than 30 days must, within those 30 days, go to the Gendarmeria – Foreigners Office to apply for a permit of stay.
“La permanenza in territorio dello straniero per periodi di tempo superiori a 30 giorni è subordinata alla titolarità di permesso di soggiorno o di residenza. Coloro che intendono permanere in territorio per un periodo superiore a 30 giorni sono tenuti, entro il suddetto termine, a presentarsi alla Gendarmeria – Ufficio Stranieri per avanzare la richiesta di rilascio del permesso di soggiorno.”

Japan citizens can enter San Marino without a visa and stay for up to 30 days. You only need a valid Japan passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay. The 30-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.
Whatever your visa status, San Marino applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
San Marino lets 93 passports in without a visa and requires an embassy visa from 105. Japan citizens are treated the same way as Brunei, Hong Kong, Israel, Macau and Malaysia. Overall the Japan passport ranks #34 in the world with 116 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Europe? With a Japan passport you can also visit 46 countries in the region without a visa, including Andorra, Albania, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgium and Bulgaria.
In the other direction, San Marino citizens can visit Japan visa-free for up to 90 days.
