No update on individual tourists yet.
This is an example of actual systemic foreigner discrimination in Japan that needs to be tackled. Can we focus on this shit more instead of english language covid rules

Ngl the way you lot (i’m speaking to mostly white foreigners here) treat every single slightly uncomfortable interaction here as ‘racism’ is exhausting. like you sound completely miserable here 😭
Japan to tourists: please follow these basic safety measures like masking and ventilation that we believe have helped make our Covid deaths almost the lowest in the world.
This website: that's racist
But i’m not defending the JP government in anyway: they’re reluctance to open to tourists by this point is inexcusable and a full reopening needs to happen sooner than later . but tourists also need to stop acting entitled
like if youre going to take your mask off on the train people are going to get mad at you. individual rights is a bit of a different concept here than in western nations. just accept that and enjoy Japan
