You need an ETA for Australia if you have a Japanese passport

Travellers need a travel authorization to visit Australia for Business or Tourism. Visa-exempt visitors entering Australia must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). Travellers can submit the eTA application online. Once the application is approved, travellers receive their eTA confirmation electronically. An eTA is linked electronically to a passport and is valid for up to 1 year. Travellers can stay in Australia for up to three months each time they enter the country. If travellers receive a new passport, they must apply for a new eTA. A valid eTA is required to board the flight. If the eTA is expired or doesn’t match the traveller’s passport information, travellers will not be able to board their flight.
