I have a question...
- I have to take a pre-test ( PCR NAAT test or antigen test ) within 3 days of flight departure to Hawaii, and present a negative certificate from a medical institution
. Does this mean that a negative certificate from a hospital designated by the State of Hawaii is not required as in the past ??

Yes.
You can now travel to Hawaii for an inexpensive test that is approved by the U.S. for around 2,000 yen, rather than the State of Hawaii's designated testing laboratory as in the past.
This is clearly stated on the State of Hawaii website.
You are no longer required to test at the Hawaii State designated testing laboratory before 11/8, which is a blah blah blah around 3000 yen.

Dear Aloha

Even the medical professionals I know were talking about how that was really just a concession.
And I was annoyed that the Japanese Consulate General in Honolulu also made such an announcement as if it could only be done in a Japanese type place. Even though there are places where you can get a Japanese government certified negative certificate issued for about $100 local.

Thank you very much for your valuable information😊
I would like to ask you one question, what do you mean when you say "I went to the store this time because I cannot present my ID card or other documents" ?
You can't prove your identity with the kit, i.e. your name will not appear on the negative certificate? Does it mean that the kit cannot prove your identity, i.e. your name will not appear on the negative certificate ??

Saying that the kit does not prove your identity does not mean that your name will not be listed.
The reason I didn't use the kit is

1, even if you put your name on it, you don't actually know whose saliva it is.
2, With the kit, you don't get a negative certificate.

He wanted a paper negative certificate because he was worried about the response upon arrival in Hawaii.

Japan Airlines has responded to my question about negative certification.
Is the question OK with the Kinoshita Group in Haneda Airport ?
same as below ↓

According to the information we currently have,
the negative test certificate required for entry into the US is
subject to the following that meets the following conditions
・ A new coronavirus test within 3 days prior to departure
・ "Information on the medical ・ laboratory where the test was taken" and
"Identifying information ( date of birth, passport number, etc )" must be included Required
(Handwritten is acceptable as long as it is an official document. )

Please note that a negative certificate upon entry into the U.S. is acceptable without English notation.

I also found a blog.

https://gamp.ameblo.jp/sweet-aki/entry-12699403294.html

My friend said she heard on the radio that a negative certificate for returning to Japan in Hawaii costs $150. Please let me know if there is a cheap place.

I am currently back in Japan and will be returning to Hawaii in a few weeks, so I am very concerned about negative certificates for entry into Hawaii.
The Kinoshita Group offers testing at a fairly low cost, but I believe the certificate is written in Japanese.
Is it OK if the certificate is not in English when entering the country ??

I am currently in Japan temporarily, but when I return to Hawaii, does it mean that the Kinoshita Group's test results will be okay? ?
I believe that the Kinoshita Group does not issue English certificates, but I am wondering if a Japanese certificate will work. I am worried about it.
If you have any detailed information, it would be greatly appreciated.

I recently came to Honolulu from Japan ^_^If you have a negative certificate from a clinic designated by the State of Hawaii, you are exempt from the quarantine period. If you get a negative certificate from a non-designated clinic, you will be quarantined for 10 days after arriving in Hawaii, so it is better to get it from a designated clinic, although it will cost more.

Thank you for the latest information as you recently came from Japan 😊
I still don't know what is correct as the information varies 💦
I also read on the website of the Japanese Consulate General in Hawaii that it got better even if it was not a designated hospital.
However, as Okazaki-san said, it is definitely better to get it done at a clinic designated by the State of Hawaii.
Thank you very much.
Just one more question, is it correct that we don't need to register with Safe Travel anymore ??

If you are flying direct from Japan to Hawaii, you should not need a Safe Travel Program. I came in via San Francisco, so in that case, I need to register for the Safe Travel Program since I will be landing somewhere else in the US.
I was asked to show my Safe Travel Program QR code at the Honolulu airport.

If you are arriving on a direct flight from Japan to Hawaii, negative certification does not require a Hawaii designated hospital. Safe Travel Program is also not required.
This is also stated on the Hawaii Visitors Bureau website.
Since the negative certificate check is only at the airport counter upon departure from Japan, I think you can use Japanese, but since you never know when or where you will be asked to produce a negative certificate, it is better to get it in English to be sure.

I also inquired at Hawaiian Airlines with a negative proof of Kinoshita Group and they replied that it was fine.
I prefer to use Roman alphabet because they fill in the name place at Kinoshita-san in Roman alphabet.
I heard that you have to show it only once at the check-in counter. I heard that they don't look at it at all when you enter the country at all in Hawaii.
So I will do the 30 minute quick inspection under the tree.
If I am told something at the counter on my way out of Japan, I will check it again and again by e-mail.

I returned this morning on HA822. I took a quick inspection ≪Quick Inspection∩ (1900 yen) at Kinoshita Group in Haneda Airport in the morning on the day of boarding and received a negative certificate 30 minutes later.
When I applied for the certificate, I requested that my name be printed in alphabetical characters.
By the way, you can get a 300 yen discount if you fill out the government's simple name online questionnaire at the inspection station.
After that, I went to the international terminal for confirmation, and since there was no Hawaiian Airlines staff there that day, I went to the JAL Chuk-in counter, which flies jointly with Hawaiian Airlines, and asked if this negative certificate was valid. I was instructed to write the passport number by hand.
After that
I moved on to Hawaiian Airlines as my flight was departing from Narita and checked in smoothly. After arriving in Honolulu, I was not asked to present either a negative certificate or a vaccine certificate.
By the way, I am a US citizen and my wife is a permanent resident of Hawaii.

The negative certificate in Hawaii is available at Niu Health in Ala Moana for about $ 100 yen.

We ordered a mailed test kit from the under the tree group to make the 14-day quarantine into a 10-day one.
On the morning of the 10th day, I took the specimen and sent it as soon as the post office opened.
They would receive it the next morning.
I received the results in the mail at 7 pm on the 11th day.
I immediately sent a screencast of the notification email (first page only) from MySOS, which was installed when I entered the country.
I was notified of the end of quarantine before noon on the 12th day; I had an appointment in the morning on the 12th day, so I went out without waiting for notification.
In the end, it was only 12 days instead of 14 days, but I thought it was ok since the cost of the test was 2300 yen.
If there is an inspection station of the group under the tree nearby, you can go there directly on the 10th day for a quick inspection and they will release you on the afternoon of the 10th day.

I think the reason there is no inspection station under the tree at Narita airport is because there is no demand.
Currently Narita is almost exclusively for international flights and is a ghost town.
All shuttle buses between the metropolitan area and Narita are out of service. Narita Express also operates only a few times a day.
We took the Keisei Skyliner.
Most of the stores and restaurants in the airport are closed and only a few are open.
Haneda Airport is quite busy with domestic flights almost back to normal.
Most of the people going through inspection seem to be domestic travelers.

You can download the form from the Japanese Consulate in Honolulu website and take it to Niu Health to have it filled out and signed.

As for the negative certificate when returning to Hawaii from Japan, as you may already know, it does not take exactly 24 hours from the time of the flight. At first, I thought it would be quite a hassle, but the CDC website says it is the "day before". I'll post a link to the CDC website for those who, like me, are not sure about the details.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/testing-international-air-travelers.html


The 1-day The Order uses a 1-day time frame instead of 24 hours to provide more flexibility to the air By using a 1-day window, test acceptability does not depend on the time of the flight or the time of day that the test sample was taken.

For example, if your flight is at 1pm on a Friday, you could board with a negative test that was taken any time on the preceding Thursday.

Which Kinoshita Group do you test at ?
I read somewhere that if you fly with JAL, you can show them your test result e-mail and it is OK.
I think you can download and print out the negative certificate for Haneda Airport even for Kinoshita Group.

https://covid-kensa.com/haneda.html

Maybe there are places other than Haneda that will not give you this proof. I am not aware of which inspection stations can do negative proof downloads and which ones can't. \ \cH0000003}

I thought you could ask the airline company and they would tell you. I was aware that negative proof was required to board the plane. I don't think you have to show it once you arrive in Hawaii.
I guess I was mistaken...

By the way, a friend of mine is currently back in Japan and will be returning to Hawaii, but he is going to a clinic in Tokyo that will provide the proof.

Thank you.
I will take a closer look at Webside again, and then ask my local Kinoshita group.

Dear alohawa

Looking at my local Kinoshita Group web site, it seems that the results test is sent to your email and you have to download it yourself. Maybe you have to print it out yourself at home or at a convenience store.
Will this be a negative certificate ??

Dear Beach5

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
The Kinoshita Group near my parents' house does not do quick tests. But it seems that you can download and print out the negative certificate by yourself.
I am also reading the Honolulu Consulate website because the PCR inspection date has been shortened when entering Hawaii from 12/6, but I still don't understand the date a bit
I contacted the boarding flight company, but I didn't get a good response, so I am trying.
I just tried to make a reservation with a local Kinoshita group, but they were all booked up for the date I wanted.
I will now try to find a local clinic.

Thank you all very much.
My mother came from Japan today for the first time in a year and 10 months.
She had to submit an English vaccination certificate, an affidavit of entry into the U.S., a PCR test the day before, etc...
It was a completely different situation from the one she had been used to, and she was left on her own. I was very anxious to let my elderly mother come to the U.S. by herself because it was completely different from what she was used to, but she was able to come here safely by referring to your advice here.
Thank you very much for everything.

Mahalo-san, is the English vaccine certificate different from the normal Japanese certificate ?
I have mine in Japan with the name and type of vaccine written in English, but is that not enough ??

I asked for the vaccine certificate to be written in English just in case I need to show it at restaurants when I eat out after entering Hawaii, rather than when I enter the country.
But I don't think it necessarily has to be in English.
However, you can get a certificate in English from the municipal office for about ¥ 700, so if you are worried, you might want to consider that ?.

I recently returned to Hawaii from Japan.

The negative proof of the result from the Kinoshita Group's quick test at Haneda Airport appears 30 minutes later on the My Page that I registered when I made the reservation. I asked for a printed copy at the reception desk, but they said they could not print it.
Therefore, I printed the negative test result from my phone via Wi-Fi ( at a printer in Lawson located diagonally in front of the inspection station ) and filled in my passport number and date of birth in my own handwriting.
When you enter your name in the online reservation form, there are three input fields: Kanji, Furigana, and English.

Since we were boarding on the same day, we went to Terminal 2 for inspection 4 hours before departure time, printed the form at Lawson, and then took a bus to Terminal 3 in the departure lobby.
I presented this negative proof at check-in and was able to board without any problems.
I was able to smoothly enter the Honolulu airport in about 40 minutes without being asked to show any negative proof or vaccine proof. The only cost was 1900 yen including tax for the inspection fee and 50 yen for printing at Lawson.

Mr. Kinoshita Group

Thank you very much for your detailed information ! It was very helpful and appreciated as the information was scattered.
In case you don't know which airline you were flying with ? I will be flying out of Haneda Airport to Honolulu on JAL.

Also, when you took the bus from Haneda Airport Terminal 2 to Terminal 3 after the inspection, did you have to carry your checked luggage with you ?? Thank you very much.

Dear Haneda Airport,

I flew ANA 3 days ago, and like Kinoshita Group, I departed from Haneda and returned to Hawaii.
Regarding your question about the bus transfer, you need to go through the inspection and get a certificate before check-in, so take all your luggage and go to Kinoshita Group in Terminal 1 first (I don't think they accept quick inspection in Terminal 2 now) and print out the negative certificate at a convenience store. You can print out a negative certificate at a convenience store.
You will need to take all of your luggage with you to the international terminal 3 and take the free inter-terminal bus.
Also, when I went through the inspection at Kinoshita Group, the Cabinet Secretariat was conducting a monitoring questionnaire, and I was able to get a discount of 300 yen for those who responded, so I was able to get a quick inspection for 1,600 yen.
The information about the questionnaire and the QR code were posted at the inspection site.
After arriving at Honolulu Airport, we were no longer required to present any Corona-related documents, etc. We were directed to the group exit instead of the individual exit, as we had been before.

Please be careful on your way out.

Correction to the above correction about the inspection at Terminal 2.
The quick inspection reservation at Terminal 2 was suspended until a few days ago, but now it seems to be accepted. My apologies.

Thank you very much for your clear and understandable information.
It is very difficult to move two suitcases together, but it is less expensive than anywhere else, and your detailed information made me think that I might be able to do it. \I am glad to know that the quick inspection is available at Terminal 2 now. Thank you for your kind correction.
I always use Narita, so this was my first time to use Haneda Airport, and I was very worried because I had no idea what to expect.
Thank you very much for the discount ! I will definitely use your service !

It was a great relief to know what to expect after arriving in Honolulu !
I really appreciate your help Tokyo! !
Thank you very much ^ ^.

Thank you very much for your valuable comments.
I read about downloading from Lawson via WIFI, but it seems very difficult
and I am not sure if I can do it. I looked on the internet to see how to print at Lawson, and it said that I needed to download an app
Was it necessary to download an app? I tried to download the app from here in Hawaii, but it said I could not download from your country.
So it can only be done in Japan? Is it easy to use WIFI in the airport for free ? I remember I was charged before.
I would appreciate it if someone could help me.

Let me ask you a question.
For the inspection at Kinoshita Group when leaving Japan from Haneda Airport, how long before departure time should I try to be there ? (or should I make an appointment ? )
The inspection location and departure terminal at Kinoshita Group are different, and free contact Can you please tell me how much time I should allow considering the waiting time for the bus and travel time ? Thank you very much.

Mr. Haneda Airport
I was returning on JAL.
You always have to go through inspection before check-in, so you have to carry your suitcase between terminals.

Ms. Zara
I found instructions on the printer at the entrance of Lawson, so it shouldn't be difficult.
You need to download an app, use the free WiFi at the airport and download an app called PrintSmash.
I was on an iPhone and the app could only be downloaded at the Apple Store in Japan, not in the U.S., so I did a country switch from the U.S. to the Apple Store in Japan on the spot and downloaded it.
I think it would have taken less time if I had downloaded it in advance, but I did it on the spot and was able to print easily without taking that long.
By the way, there was also a way to print by uploading online instead of via WiFi.

I am relieved to hear that I am also JAL !
I see that we have to carry our suitcases between terminals, I will try to inspect early to have enough time.
Thank you for telling me ^ ^.

Mr. Kinoshita Group, thank you so much for the detailed information.
I tried to download the app this morning on my android phone and my iphone, but I couldn't download it from the US.
I didn't realize you were going to switch to Apple Japan. I'm going alone and I'm too old to go alone and I'm afraid that someone will be waiting behind the copier.
I was wondering if there was someone waiting for me behind the copier. Thank you so much for your valuable information.

I am returning to Hawaii from Japan. I plan to take the antigen test at the Kinoshita Group at Haneda Airport, but since the Kinoshita Group is located at Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, and my departure is at Terminal 3, would it be smoother to take the test at Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 to move to Terminal 3 after taking the test? Please let me know if you know. Thank you in advance.

I made an appointment to take the PCR test at the Kinoshita Group. However, in the pledge ・ consent form questions, there is the following statement and I am wondering if it is okay to put a check mark in the "I agree" box. I have asked the Kinoshita Group via email and am currently awaiting a response. We are looking forward to hearing from anyone who has experienced this. The negative certificate issued for this test should not be the negative certificate required to be presented when traveling abroad.
I agree.

I was also told at the reception that this test is for domestic use and not originally intended for overseas travel.
This is because the standards for certificates vary from country to country, and conditions can change daily depending on the corona situation, so they are taking the stance that they do not support each country.
If you receive a claim that you were not allowed to board the plane with this certificate after the inspection without confirmation from the airline, or if you were not allowed to board because the contents of the certificate no longer meet the requirements due to sudden changes in conditions caused by the corona situation, you need to confirm this by yourself beforehand and the inspection agency will not take responsibility. This seems to be for the sake of self-preservation.
However, they also said that not only people going to Hawaii but also people going to the mainland Amelka are using this service and have no problem boarding the plane.

So, just to be sure, I checked with the airline in advance and received confirmation that boarding was possible through the Kinoshita Group inspection.
They told me that everyone who travels to the U.S., including Hawaii, enters the country through the Kinoshita Group inspection without any problems, just as the inspector had told me.

Also, I was told that if the airline allows it, the language does not have to be English.
The CDC guidance also explains as follows.
"If your documentation is in a language other than English, you should check with the airline or aircraft operator prior to travel."

The receptionist I spoke to at Kinoshita Group was very kind, but if you tell them you want an inspection to go abroad, there is a possibility you may be refused depending on the person you speak to, so I would recommend checking with the airline rather than with Kinoshita Group.
