The new list from citizenship and planning firm Henley & Partners shows Japanese citizens can now visit 189 out of a possible 218 countries visa-free, edging out Singapore and Germany, both on 188.
Australia is currently sitting in sixth spot, along with Greece, with a visa-free score of 183.
Australia has been on the rise, having moved up from a score of 153 on the list yearly last year, to its current score of 183.
One of the reasons for that change is Indonesia recently having changed its visa requirements for Australians, allowing us to visit for up to 30 days without having to fork over $50 for a visa on arrival.
