    So $90-$185 US?

    I can see why they’re unconcerned this will slow the rate.

      "The fee will be increased from the current ¥3,000 to ¥15,000 for a single-entry visa and from ¥6,000 to ¥30,000 for a multiple-entry visa. The new fees will apply to applications submitted on or after July 1."

      I converted and rounded up to the nearest dollar, exchange rates will vary slightly.

      "The fee will be increased from the current $19 to $93 for a single-entry visa and from $38 to $186 for a multiple-entry visa. The new fees will apply to applications submitted on or after July 1."

      But yes, this is a trivial amount when compared to the overall cost of a trip to Japan.
