It is not clear when the plane will depart Japan, but the letter said it will land at Travis Air Force Base in California.
Washington will send a plane to Japan for the evacuation on Sunday, it said in a letter to US citizens on board, adding that evacuees will still be required to undergo a further quarantine of two weeks after their arrival in the US.
"Passengers will be screened for symptoms and we are working with our Japanese partners to ensure that any symptomatic passengers receive the required care in Japan if they cannot board the flight," the letter said. "Should you choose not to return on this charter flight, you will be unable to return to the United States for a period of time," it added.
