My Sakura 2020 tix postponed many times until Sakura 2023. And even then after 3 years postpone the light at the end of the tunnel seems no brighter lol.
Do they allow you to rebook multiple times? I thought there's a limit now.

As long as China remains closed, the crowd should be bearable.

I suspect jp will take china as an example…. If china dare to open? Jp surely will open up for free& ez tour…..

those diY tours i been doing (maybe i went4 less touristy areas) for past yrs, mostly i met are koreans (v near to jp) & yes a lot are Asians (so i dont think china takeup

as a chinese, i definitely can recog a china accent

tour grp : yes alot of chinese!

I believe this thread is set for a free&ez rationale
I saw and walked amongst the japanese/students during the sakura fest along a river/canal
(I dont think a tour will allow u to walk all the way to the end of canal- sg called that a canal)& then stopover at the largest starbucks of tokyo few storey high and have2obtain a q no. And wait for hrs befoee i get to enter (that was the first yr it opend 2019 if my memory didnt fail me)

I hardly see any big china tours too

my fren wish to do diy in a small group too

anyway, the spendings came abt due to their internal tourism cum grp tour tourists came into jp?

“Personal spending increased by 1.1 percent during the second quarter from the first quarter, supported by sharp growth in service industries, such as restaurant and travel.
Capital spending also grew by 1.4 percent as companies spent actively on digitalization”

I dont think they will take china as an example as both gov completely different strategy for covid...One is going zero covid, the other just taking it's time to open..

Japan should be fully opening by November it seems.
Americans don't like package tours n usually only do F&E.

Airlines are usually a good indicator as we have seen before.

So it’s good news for travelers that Delta has just announced that it’s not only increasing its number of direct flights between Haneda and the U.S., but even adding a new route, as it expects significant increases in passenger numbers between the two countries to increase before the end of the year.

Delta’s press release cites “anticipation of relaxed travel restrictions” as the reason why it will be resuming non-stop flights between Haneda and Los Angele’s LAX. Starting October 31, Delta will be operating three flights a week along the route, with departures from LAX at 9:45 a.m. on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays and arriving the next day at 3:10 p.m. in Japan, and flights departing Haneda at 4:50 p.m. on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays and arriving at 10 a.m. the same day.

▼ Flying from Japan to California is about as close as humanity has gotten so far to time travel.

On December 1 Delta will begin operating the Haneda-Los Angeles flights every day. Frequency bumps are coming even sooner for the airline’s already-in-operation flights between Haneda and Seattle, Detroit, and Atlanta, which will go daily from October 30. Finally, on December 2, a new Haneda-Honolulu route will begin service, with flights every day.

While Delta hasn’t given any reason more specific than “anticipation of relaxed travel restrictions,” it’s worth noting that Japanese citizens and residents can already travel more or less freely between Japan and the U.S., which suggests that Delta is expecting movement on the long-awaited loosening of restrictions on inbound foreign travelers into Japan before the year is done.
