Update:
Cancelled the flights for my wife and babies today and rebooked in a week for now.
Submitted all the requested paperwork to the consulate in Los Angeles today and now it's a waiting game to see if I get a visa in time to get our COVID tests and catch the flight.
Does anyone have a list of the places of departure to Japan that are on the list for the mandatory 3 day quarantine hotel stay paid by the Japanese government?
Thanks to everyone who has posted updates to the constant change in entry requirements.
