Travel to Spain and back to Japan in August

When getting tested in the EU, you will normally get a EU Digital Covid Certificate, which is in itself a proof of test written in English, which means that outside of specific countries (Like China), is valid for entry in Japan

all the items must be written in English or Japanese

I really don't think you need to worry about Poland at all. What would be enforced there is any Polish regulation. Back in January, this could be checked even on a layover but as far as I can tell there is no test requirement at the moment. This also matches my recent experience of intra-Schengen/intra-EU travel. Even when a vaccine certificate is technically required, enforcement has been non-existent.

What does matter however are the requirements to enter Japan. They can be enforced at two points:

  • When checking in for your flights, usually through some online service or at the check-in desk. This would happen before leaving Spain and be performed by the airline.
  • After landing, by border guards or some healthcare staff of some kind. At this point it's difficult to turn you back and you might get a fine or mandatory test instead.

For both, a certificate is typically required (that's what they are for, really) but I have no idea how this is handled in Japan.
