Sweden appears on Japan's 74-country visa-exemption table (Europe column, with no conditions note), so Swedish citizens need no visa for a short visit.
Landing permission for Swedish citizens is granted for 90 days — Sweden is not among the shorter-period exceptions (15 days for Indonesia/Thailand, 30 days for Brunei/Qatar). The exemption covers short visits, not paid work.
You can register your immigration and customs details online in advance and show the 2D code on arrival to speed up procedures — optional, not a visa requirement.
There is no visa to show — the immigration officer at the port of entry grants your visa-free landing permission with the 90-day period of stay.

- Visa-free status is not a guarantee of entry: landing permission is granted by the immigration officer at the port of entry.
- Japan's exemption list and conditions can change — reconfirm Sweden's entry on MOFA's official exemption page before you travel.
