I would like to open a bank account in Japan when I visit Japan, but I have an American passport and no certificate of residence.
Please let me know if you know of any banks where foreigners can open a bank account.

Or, if you know how to open a Japanese bank account in the US, please let me know.

Isn't it impossible to open a
account in a Japanese bank if you can't identify yourself because it could be abused
by a fictitious billing company?

Each country is supposed to allow only nationals of that country to open accounts in order to prevent money laundering and other crimes.

Here in the U.S., a person with a student visa can open a bank account as long as he/she has a driver's license to prove that he/she is a "resident" of the state.
In Japan, people who are working, studying, or married to a Japanese person can open an account if they have a long-term residence permit.

So, it is not possible to open an account only with a travel visa.
