Uk Citizens will receive a 90 day tourist visa automatically upon arrival at any Japanese port with a valid passport. That's the only one I know for sure, if you are any other nationality, it's best to check. I think it will be the same for Americans, Australians and New Zealanders, but I'm not as certain... Robyn has a point, by the way... you are in Hong Kong on a student visa, that will probably be anulled once you leave unless you get a re-entry permit. Again, check check check! Well, the fastest way must be to go the school office at your place of study, at least over the student visa bit.

As a US passport holder you'd only have trouble getting into Japan for a week if they decided to check why a minor has no adults supervising her. If you're actually a minor of course. Suitable letters from parents giving permission would normally suffice. I don't know about Hong Kong though. Can you up and leave the country when you have a student visa, or would it be useless afterwards? That's what you need to check now.

If you're 18 or older, it won't be a problem. Under 18 might be a problem though.All you need to visit Japan is a passport and a round trip ticket. They'll ask you why you are there when you arrive, and then stamp your passport as such.I spent time in Hong Kong.Japan is a lot different.
