At the beginning of this month, Myanmar granted Japanese citizens visa-free access, meaning visa-Japanese passport holders now have visa-free access or visa-on-arrival access to an impressive 190 countries. Another island nation in Asia, Singapore, is in second place with 189 destinations. France, Germany and South Korea all follow with visa-free travel to 188 jurisdictions.
