It took about a day to implement this policy, less than a day to flip-flop on this policy, and now 4 days to actually remove this policy.
Which mean this policy idea was essentially pointless anyway, and the knew it.

My dream of sitting on a beach in Thailand this winter is growing more distant than ever.

Isn’t this the country that staged the Olympics in the midst of the Delta surge?

Ministry didn't inform the prime minister's office. As always, great command and control in Japan.

Well they have to do a meeting in the morning, create report then another meeting in the afternoon. They then had to render overtime until the last train to create a powerpoint presentation for the meeting the next day. They did this for 4days and the document that says "allow bookings" is now ready.
They do love meetings here.

"My dream of sitting on a beach in Thailand this winter is growing more distant than ever."
Not really, but just don't expect to be able to return to Japan easily. You may have to live "The Beach".

Great! Now Japanese can go freely in and out and bring whatever with them back to Japan.
So where is here the prevention?

Too late. The damage is done with these governments making knee jerk decisions to generate fear, channelled through the media.
Flights cancelled everywhere, borders shut, family reunions destroyed for another year.
Pathetic, useless governments.

Makes me wonder if there's perhaps some hidden manipulation going on ?
Because how could any organization really be so dysfunctional.
Organization ??
Organized manipulation more like it what it looks like.

I think the biggest confusion is among government officials and politicians when people called the closure stupid; the politicians have never been contradicted before! They’re aghast!
Plus, left-hand government doesn’t know what right-hand government is doing because, you know, millions of meetings.

I personally did not change my travel plans. I’ve waited two years to see my parents. Enough!! I’m going.

Suga, Abe, Motegi, Kishida and many others have not curtailed their international travel yet expect the plebs to do so-double standards all round!

…..
Kishida gets the backlash and then blames the Transport Ministry-not ready for ‘criticism’ it seems…

The government should’ve stuck to its original decision and to heck with the crybabies. We’re far from being out of the woods yet.

"We are out the woods since September . . . "
I would say Yippeee! except there were over 8,000 people who died of the coronavirus yesterday in just one day alone.
Are you sure we're out of the woods?
