Posted in: U.S. eases 'Do Not Travel' advisory for Japan See in context
Totally moot point, no travelers/tourists allowed in the country anyway, people from virtually every country on the plane have been banned with exception of permanent visa holders, so what exactly is the point of making these declarations.

All of the people coming into Japan for the olympics, athletes, trainers, media etc. should be subject to the exact same entry restrictions and border control measures just like returning Japanese and visa holding foreigners. If I have to quarantine for 14 days and install three apps on my phone, sign a pledge and put up with all the other ridiculous inconvenience at the airport then so should everyone else. I have been fully vaccinated (Japan does not recognize this nor care), tested twice, but still stuck at home. How hypocritical it would be to change the rules for the people coming in for the olympics.

Posted in: Japan to extend quarantine for travelers from Britain to 6 days See in context
The length of quarantine is the same, 14 days, however those coming from Britain, India etc will have to do the first 6 days at a state operated quarantine center/hotel near the airport of you entry. Amazing how many people cannot grasp this information.
