Why is Japanese passport powerful?

The Japanese passport is one of the most powerful passports in the world, granting its citizens access to more than 190 countries without a visa. Benefits include visa-free travel, shorter wait times at immigration and access to visas on arrival in certain countries. Japan's lenient immigration policies and high global ranking for ease of doing business make it an attractive destination for international travellers. As Japan continues to open up more visa-free destinations and improve upon its existing immigration policies, its passport power is expected to grow even further in coming years.
