The rest of the trip for an Indonesian passport, from the arrival form to customs and travelling with children: Japan entry requirements.
The details for an Indonesian passport.
Requires an ICAO ePassport PRE-REGISTERED for visa waiver at a Japanese embassy/consulate in Indonesia (registration valid 3 years or until passport expiry, whichever is shorter). Without registration, or for stays over 15 days, get a visa: residents of Indonesia can apply for JAPAN eVISA (up to 90 days) through an accredited agency.
How long it must be valid.
Passport must be valid for the whole length of stay; Japan sets no extra validity period (airlines may apply their own stricter rules). If extending your stay, the passport must cover the extension.
