Is there any chance that I can go to japan?...?

Question:

I am an illegitimate daughter of my mother who is now married to a Japanese....I am already 19 yrs old.. my last name is still from my mother's maiden name... I am worrying if I could have given the chance to visit japan?..or if possible be given the last name of my Japanese step-father.. please give me some ways to go there..

Answer:

You can go on a tourist visa. Unless you get put on your Japanese step-father's family registry, you aren't Japanese and will have to meet all the requirements for a visa as anyone else.

EDIT: Health inspection? People seem to say anything that pops into their heads, regardless of whether is a reflection of reality.
