Japan's Justice Ministry will introduce a new system to speed up immigration procedures at 3 airports to deal with the increasing number of foreigners visiting the country. This year, more than 16 million foreigners came to Japan from January through the end of August. That's up nearly 25 percent from the same period last year. The new system will begin operation in October at Kansai Airport in Osaka Prefecture, Naha Airport in Okinawa, and Takamatsu Airport in Kagawa. A device will take photos of travelers' faces, and scan their finger prints and passports as they wait in line for immigration checks. The data will be transmitted to the immigration officials in the booths. Ministry officials say the time for checks at the booths will be reduced to two-thirds of the current time.
