I know why Japan is still closed! This video will talk about the real reason that Japan does not open up its borders. Everyone talks about group package tours, numbers of entries, wearing masks, Corona Virus new cases, etc., however, underlying all of these subjects is the root of the problem of why Prime Minister Kishida and the Japanese government have been hesitant and reluctant to open up Japan to independent travelers and visitors. There are two outstanding issues and at least one of them has to be successful or Japan will continue riding this endless Merry-go-round of Covid new cases and if this continues, who knows when Japan will open up to independent travelers and tourists. This video is the real deal!
