How important is my vaccine status when visiting Japan for investors who want to explore residency and business opportunities?

We are a group of American investors looking to open a new franchise office in Japan. Would it be possible for some unvaccinated business partners of mine to tag along with me when we travel to Japan? Are there any vaccine exemptions for people with powerful passports like the U.S.?

    Entry ban still applies to a vaccinated person as well. Currently, only foreign nationals who are recognized to be in special exceptional circumstances corresponding to an individual situation such as the need for humanitarian consideration, or the need for public benefit would be allowed to enter. Vaccination certificates can shorten the quarantine period to 10 days from 14 days after entry.
