How can Citizens of Japan apply for the Czech ETIAS?

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic, and while it might not be as popular as Paris amongst some travelers, in terms of beauty and romance, it sure equals the French capital. There is even a special day for lovers celebrated on May the 1st, when it is believed that if you and your loved one kiss at the Petrin Hill in front of the statue of the romantic poet Karel Macha during that day, your love will last forever. Plus, it is also a budget-friendly destination, compared to other European countries.
