Use the government route and fee only. Avoid lookalike agent sites that add markups or mimic official portals.

Why this verdict

Japan does not waive visas for ordinary Saudi passports, but the official JAPAN eVISA route is broadly available to applicants who reside in Saudi Arabia. That makes this corridor genuinely eVISA-first for the usual Saudi-resident tourist case, while still remaining a visa route rather than a visa-free one.
