Do I need a visa for Japan as a New Zealand Citizen?
I'm from New Zealand and I am planning a trip to Japan next year. The flights I'm looking at have short layovers in Australia where I don't plan on leaving the airport so I don't think I need a visa for that, but will I need one for Japan?

NZ citizen here.
You don't need a visa for Australia as you're in transit, and even to visit don't require one.
As a tourist in Japan, you need a flight/boat trip/etc out of the country, but otherwise can have up to 90 days.
