144 hour visa exemption

Question

My wife and I are taking a cruise in April of next year visiting many ports in Asia.  The only mainland port we are visiting in China is an over night visit in Shanghai. The port prior to Shanghai is Hiroshima, Japan and the port after is Ishigaki, Japan. Are we able to use the 144 Hour Visa exemption and what is needed to apply ? Will we get necessary applications on board the ship?  Thank you, Mr. Joe Micci

Sorry, you don't qualify for the 144h visa-free transit because your route is Japan - Shanghai - Japan. You will need to get a visa in advance for this trip.
