It would be better if you changed "wear a mask" to "stay at home".

What's the situation there? I booked a trip for November many months ago and hoping things are generally going well.
Just riding out the reservation for now.
News I've seen hasn't been good. With that said, November is a long way off.
What do you have on the itinerary?

No, because the public isn’t going to buy into wearing face masks for much longer
Unfortunately, I think it's a requirement to return to work.

As of right now it's hard to tell what November will be like. I am optimistic that it will at least be back to some semblance of normal for residents, but tourism is definitely going to take a hit for a while.
The hospitals here are not really equipped for major infectious disease outbreaks and major population areas like Tokyo and Osaka seem to be having trouble with space and adequate medical personnel. Japan does have fewer cases than most other big countries, just hitting 10k in the last day or so. If the spread can be stemmed now, we could see a quick recovery, but only time will tell.

Screw that, I hope we're like Asia now. Have a cold, wear a mask. Have the flu? Wear a mask.
Or just stay at home and dont be a dick.

It really looks like a lot of people never clean their freaking homes or wash their hands.

This seems like an oddly broad requirement.
And unenforceable.

I get what you were going for with this post, but you have to dial back on the creepy dial just a tad.

Pretty basic Tokyo/Kyoto/Nara itinerary. Bringing a youngin.
Got some biz class flights on ANA with miles and booked the new Park Hyatt Kyoto with points too, so I'll be pretty bummed.

No bueno but I'm holding hope on the newer data allaying some fears.
However, Japan is pretty old population wise from what I understand so that's gonna change their calculus.

He'll be right at two. (I know I know)
He did ok in Hawaii in December. Flight was actually the easy part.
If the choice is he goes or nothing I'll go and change my expectations. Though, the wife is cool with me doing some bars after he's in bed.

Nah, bring the kid. I’m just saying, those deer are insane. You’ve been to japan before, right? Or am I misremembering?
Posted on 4/19/20 at 2:45 pm to Joshjrn
Not Japan yet.
Thailand, Cambodia and India.
Was doing Myanmar and Laos before my kid was born in 2018 but my travel buddy got a rare illness and I had to cancel.
So I'm itching to get going.

How long are you planning to be in Nara, and how in stone is your itinerary?

I made it simple with 5 days in Tokyo and 5 in Kyoto. So I was going to day trip down to Nara.

Then you’re good
If you were spending more than one night in Nara, we were going to have a conversation
Himeji is another easy day trip from Kyoto, not that you will have come close to running out of things to do in Kyoto in the time you have. Nikko can be done as a day trip from from Tokyo, but it’s worth at least an overnight. Incredible place.
