Yes low hotel rates obviously due to no foreign tourists, we’ll be flying on from Tokyo this October to more welcoming destinations.

I want to disagree with you as I love Japan but they have indeed managed to close the country and make foreigners feel like they are the reason COVID exists (while at the same time being one of the most infected countries right now!)

I would like to think most Japanese disagree with these measures but I feel like they are happy travelling around and now have been brainwashed into seeing people from outside the country as a danger.

My bookings for May 2020 have now been moved to May 2023 … let’s see how that comes up
