Why this verdict

Nigerian citizens need a visa in advance to visit Japan. Nigeria is not itself on Japan's current eVISA residence-country list, so the normal answer here remains mission-routed visa required. A Nigerian national who legally resides in a listed eVISA jurisdiction may sometimes be able to use that separate residence-based channel instead, but that is not the base tourist flow for this passport.
