Numbers continue to fall. Good to see. Time for Japan to open the borders and get overseas tourism going again.
Bye bye corona!

Another drop in the 1/47 prefectures Tokyo . Seems the rest of the country is still on a plateau. Perhaps with some more urging , the jgov can’t get those who whine about non existent restrictions to follow whatever they believe those non existent restrictions are .

is there any reason to be still interested in the numbers ?

Numbers in Hiroshima are not declining. Stable around 1200. Same as when the peak was in Tokyo.
Maybe the corona measures in Tokyo are better..

Gee Ashley. what are you saying, that the number could possibly be under-reported!? That's a wild allegation, but I assume you have some top secret contacts at the city hall who can back this up.

Now that I have had Covid I can’t believe that Govts are still perusing mass vaccinations and boosters till the cows come home! Just beggars belief!

Last couple of years have shown Japan does need, and the Japanese don't want the large scale tourism to come back.
Not that it would matter much, since most of the tourists, and the ones that spend the most, are from China. They will not be back this year.

Japan is open for business and tourism. What’s the issue ?
Steven Mccarthy
Say …. Just say for example that Japan completely eliminates all border restrictions tomorrow. Who are y’all gonna blame airfares on ? Flight availability?
Rob
No, Steven, Japan is not open for Tourism.

Wait...I thought the numbers were supposed to go UP because of Hanami, remember?
