「半額くらいで済んだ」知らずにがっかり 7月からパスポート値下げ

Starting in July, the cost of Japanese passports will be reduced. The price for a 10-year passport will drop by approximately 4,000 yen, and a 5-year passport will see a decrease of around 1,000 yen. This price adjustment is expected to make international travel more accessible for citizens. However, some individuals who recently renewed their passports may feel disappointed knowing they could have saved money had they waited.

The passport fee reduction aims to encourage more Japanese citizens to travel abroad by lowering a significant cost barrier.
