I could not say about Japanese, but in colloquial German you usually use the present tense for future events, as long as you express the future in an adverb or preposition.
I'm certain that there are many more languages with that feature.

I'm gonna guess Mandarin, since I have friends who speak Mandarin and they've told me that this is the case with the Mandarin language.
