Sounds like the government can't stand another blow to their economy if they discourage people from traveling. I thought Fujifilm has a potential vaccine coming up but no news so far. At the very least, masks should be mandatory.
Anyway, really wish to be in Kyoto right now. Reminds me of my first there although not this empty.
actally depends on when you come. last month was crazy. the spots to see maple leaves were packed with people. especially arashiyama. result? Kyoto now everyday new high. lol
