I'm a Canadian Citizen in Japan just for a couple of months. As such I fit into the Visa Exemption Category for Japan. My hope was to visit China for a few days. I've just started looking into getting a Visa now.

it says that the tourist Visa is "ONLY FOR THE ALIENS HOLDING A JAPANESE LONG-STAY VISA". Is there some other visa I should be looking at? Is there anyway for me to get a visa while here in Japan?
