Do I need a visa for Japan as a New Zealand Citizen?

NZ citizen here.

You don’t need a visa for Australia as you’re in transit, and even to visit don’t require one.

As a tourist in Japan, you need a flight/boat trip/etc out of the country, but otherwise can have up to 90 days.

Source: Have visited, transited and lived in Aus, and visited Japan four times, on a NZ passport.

As a New Zealand citizen you won’t need a visa for Australia as you don’t plan to leave the airport and will only be there for a few hours. If you do choose to take a longer layover (8+ hours) or leave the airport you can get a SCV visa on arrival by filling out a landing card.

You don’t need a visa for Japan either as you are going for 90 days or less, but you will need an onwards/return flight as detailed in Timatic, the database used by airport staff:

The following are exempt from holding a visa: Nationals of New Zealand
for a maximum stay of 90 days.

Important: Visitors not holding return/onward tickets could be refused
entry.
