On January 8th (JST), the Government of Japan announced new measures to strengthen the border to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan

Currently, specified foreign nationals (including United States), are subject to denial of permission to enter Japan (excluding “Business Track” and “Residence Track” entry).
The new measure states that all those who enter, re-enter or return to Japan (including Japanese nationals) are requested to submit a certificate of negative test result of pre-entry COVID-19 test conducted within 72 hours prior to departure. Travelers are also subject to conduct a COVID-19 test upon arrival. All are required to stay 14 days at a location designated by the quarantine station (such as their own residence, etc.) and to refrain from using public transportation. This new measure will take effect from midnight on January 13, 2021 (JST). If travelers do not show a negative certificate, they will be required to quarantine at a hotel designated by the government after entering the country.
The following medical institutions are some examples of places that can issue PCR COVID-19 test result.
