Japan citizens can enter Senegal without a visa and stay for up to 90 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 90-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.
Whatever your visa status, Senegal applies the same entry conditions to every traveller:
Senegal lets 60 passports in without a visa and requires an embassy visa from 138. Japan citizens are treated the same way as China, India, Malaysia, Singapore and South Korea. Overall the Japan passport ranks #34 in the world with 116 visa-free destinations.
Planning a longer trip in Africa? With a Japan passport you can also visit 10 countries in the region without a visa, including Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Morocco, Mauritius, Sao Tome and Principe, Eswatini and Tunisia.
