Do I need a visa to take the Resorts World One cruise ship to Okinawa?

No need. When taking a cruise to Okinawa, you only need to bring a passport valid for more than 6 months to board the ship without a visa.

You do not need to apply for a Japanese visa when traveling on an Okinawa cruise. You only need to bring your passport and print a copy of the first page of the passport to apply for a landing permit upon first entry. It is important to note that when boarding the ship, the cruise company will take your passport and keep it, and will return it to you before disembarking. Therefore, you need to prepare a copy of your passport in advance. If you want to go ashore at the port, take the copy with you when you disembark, and you can get the entry permit stamped at the port. You can also enjoy tax refund when shopping in Okinawa, Japan with a copy of your passport + entry permit.
