Breaking News in Japan! September 7th? (Moving to open up Japan?)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Prime Minister Kishida just made a big announcement this past week that the required pre-departure 72-hour PCR test will no longer be required when arriving in Japan from September 7, 2022 (3 vaccine doses or more required). Also, he will raise the number of overseas arrivals into Japan from 20,000 to probably 50,000. But although this is a major step forward, this still does not address the issue of allowing independent tourists and travelers into Japan. Moreover, all of these new changes are just addressing the symptoms of the deep-rooted problem in Japan. The major issue is not being addressed presently in Japan and thus, the story continues to repeat itself over and over again. When will Japan open up to independent tourists and travelers?

I doubt Japan will ever fully reopen anytime soon, Japan’s a country living in denial. I’d rather spend my money in a country that appreciates tourists.
I had plan for Japan 2023 but now it feel like my dream gonna shatter.
I’ve given up on visiting Japan. Not much point traveling to a place I’m not welcome. My perception of Japanese people has now changed
I'm pretty sure a lot of Japanese people are fine with foreigners, especially these days. It's just that their leaders are apparently appealing the the few who aren't (mostly elderly folks).
@@QuesoGr7 literally just seen a couple of British UA-camrs get turned away from a Yakitori shop during their bike trip because they were white. I guess it’s still hard to get rid of their xenophobic tendencies and I’m sure the lack of foreigners has probably made it worse.
as a japanese , im sorry . our prime minister is chiken and can't do anything
@@AbombOO7 Most likely due to xenophobia than complete racism. Bet you they’d do the same if they were black, brown, ect. The only difference is that black, brown, ect. people probably wouldn’t be as offended or surprised considering they can unfortunately be more likely to be physically attacked by racists in western countries. Heard some Japanese people think foreigners bring in Covid when in reality Covid is already anywhere at this point even in isolated Japan
Those two changes - elimination of PCR tests and increase of entrance limits - don't make any difference to inbound tourists, as you said.
However, this *will* influence outbound tourism by Japanese citizens. Especially because a third announcement made in that same period, was the adjustment of travel advisory cautions for over 50 countries which people might wish to visit.
For two years, the Japanese government has been trying to encourage their citizens to travel domestically and help the Japanese tourism industry (even though it's not enough)... these new announcements appear to tell Japanese citizens to feel free to travel the world, and abandon Japanese tourist destinations, but do not change the dynamic for inbound tourists.
Something had better happen soon before the rest of the tourism industry goes bankrupt.
When Mike's new video come up I know news about Japan getting better. He is my go man to Japan and traveling guide.
...but nothing changes, visa still needed, same requirements. This Hello Kitty government is getting on my nerves...
I have never seen this kind of dragging approach to make a decision from any govenment in the world. I start wondering what more steps can be squeezed by the Japanese gov't to allow the independent tourists into Japan.
Not as bad as Justin Trudeau
Totally agree, best wishes
This is typical LDP,... they do NOT like surprises. Also, the current leadership seems to be more concerned about purging the Unification Church than foreign tourists ...
Feels like one of those things that Japan always do differently compare to the world. Aging population, isolation, pen and paper bureaucracy, and the Galapagos Effect causing slow progress. I listen to how John Daub felt all the years living in Japan with all the steps the government and businesses do. Including the amount of time just to close your bank account, especially for foreign expats leaving the country.
@shoin yoshida hmm, I honestly don't remember peeing in your cereal so why the nasty attitude?
Hi Mike,
Thank you for the update. It is always fun to watch your videos. You are so upbeat and enthusiastic. Hello from California.
I'm starting to think that Japan doesn't want foreign tourism at all. Maybe I'll change my plans to favor a nation that's more open to foreign tourists.
You should. Spend your money somewhere where you are welcomed.
I am Japanese. The Japanese government is so stupid that it continues to impose meaningless regulations. Frankly speaking, I am quite fed up with it.
Exactly. So many more awesome places worth checking out that are fully opened. The Japanese Government is filled with idiotic xenophobic politicians hence why a lot of younger Japanese citizens are frustrated with their Government.
Agree!
this yearend, i am spending my tourist dollars in Korea with my family. Korea's tourism industries are as good as Japan's
Still need a travel agency to tell you where to stay, go etc. Need SOS app. visa Nothing changes
I think I can tolerate getting a visa to go to Japan, buying medical insurance is fine with me, even if they want me to do a PCR I'm fine, but booking my trip through a travel agency and let them tell me where I can go is something I will not accept and will not do, so until Japan fully embraces individual tourists like pre covid, I will not be going to Japan anytime soon.
Thank you for keeping us updated!!!!
Bold prediction: Japan will fully reopen by 2030. These small incremental steps are laughable.
It’s OK , all those 90-year-old Japanese people you want to visit will still be alive in 8 years ;-P
@@pushslice lol they will be long gone. 2023 they will fully open.
Klaus Schwab liked this comment
@@pushslice The younger ones will wish more healthcare workers can go in once they age more that’s for sure.
Waiting till all restrictions are lifted 🙌
thank you so much for the updates. I’m so happy. Because I’m coming to Japan in October and no more PCR test will save me another $240.
great news - thx for the heads up :)
NOTE the charges that will be made because you HAVE to use 'a travel agency will continue to be responsible for receiving the tourists,
will be required to arrange round trip air tickets, all accommodation; for the duration of their stay.' 😶
Thank you Mike for your up date, I'm chopping on the bit here waiting to come to Japan, I have book 2 hotels one in Tokyo & the other in Kyoto & I've got 5 months before I need to pay for them both, I just hope the Government gets these travel restrictions lifted by then I'm ready just need a flight. Best wishes
* champing at the bit 😊
I'm curious to see if the rumour of individual travellers being granted entry if they book through a Japanese travel agent proves true. If so it proves that these restrictions are political, and have nothing to do with covid.
Right there with you. I was thinking the same thing
They are political indeed.
I'm here, without any restrictions (definitely not with any tour group),... you can do this with at least business or spousal visa (diplomatic visa must be even better ...)
He's in quarantine... not the fault of foreigners tho.
It's a matter of time before other countries start taking relatiation. Tourists are not really begging to come to Japan... sure they want to go, but it's not a life or death situation unless family is involved. They are opting to go somewhere else or cancelling their trips altogether instead. Japan doesn't realize they will need tourism revenue more han tourists need Japan. Meanwhile Japanese people are spending their money in other countries. Sure local tourism is strong, but the truth is that money is leaving the country and not nearly as much as it used to is entering it.
A very small step in the right direction. Thanks for informing. However I will only visit countries without any restrictions. I dont support endless vaccinations and whatever. Group tour is an absolute no go. I have lived in Japan 15 years ago and would like to revisit some old places. But not now. Now I can co to Thailand again without any requirement (because they actually dont check vaccination any more), and there are good Japanese restaurants in Bangkok :).
same here... I have always loved to explore on my own and also used to live in Japan. So I really dont want to book a packaged tour with or without guides. And people without vaccination are even better off when it comes to immunity.
Right. Screw Japan and its restrictions.
Thank you thank you for the information. I'm planing in the next 2 years to move to for work. This is after retiring for the Army. You are so helpful 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Not allowing independent travelers to Japan is a slow suicide for the economy of the country. Come on Japan! The tourists of the world will heal you.
It will help but it’s not crucial to their economy.I believe they opened their borders to Independent tourists only a decade ago. Japan has been around since the B.C. Age. It’s the war that hit them hard but this isn’t the first or the last war so they’ll be alright.
Yep your right, they are loosing millions A Month for 2 years!!!! they need tourism, the last thing I read that Japan was BROKE
I'm in Japan right now. Businesses in Kyoto (at least Kawaramachi downtown) seem fairly busy. In Toba (Mie Prefecture) I saw two gift shops and a restaurant permanently closed but the Toba Aquarium was packed with families yesterday. One real benefit with the lack of foreign tourists is the peace and quiet. It's like the country is back to the way it used to be before MILT and JNTO turned it into the world's Disneyland.
@@towada1066 BS. You'll be crying when the economy ends up like Venezuela. Without Tourism they are finished. That's any country. Japan thrived off of it.
You don't become the world's third largest economy by selling out your country to foreign tourists. I was in Ise Jingu (Naikou) yesterday and it was packed with domestic tourists (on a Monday).
great video sir, im really hoping Japan opens before November but that's probably not gonna happen, rip my birthday
Thank you for this video. Planning to go to Japan in January, so hoping if we need to go through a group trip, we will have a little freedom.
Thank you - I look forward to returning to Japan and your commentary is very helpful.
Thanks Mike, I appreciate your messages...
The visa situation for 'Travel Without A Visa' countries needs fixing before independent travellers are allowed entry. Consulates will be swamped and unable to process visas in a timely manner. Currently, it is said to be five days for a visa. That could become weeks or months.
Globally, there has been a tide of visa requests and many countries are suffering long delays, sometimes months. Japan was going to embrace e-Visas just before the pandemic hit, will this be the new process going forward?
The in-person interview was dropped before I applied for my visa. This a single data point but in my case I got spousal visa, installed the SOS app, got tested negative and registered the result before going. I'm in Mie Prefecture right now (without having to join a tour group). Some people have commented about foreign tourism and business,... at Ise Jingu (Naiku) it seemed packed with domestic tourists ...
This how I understand the Japan Entry.
Currently a foreign visitor for the purpose of tourism will need to do the following steps.
Apply for tourist visa from Japanese consulate. Basically you have to visit or contact the US Japanese consulate on for a visa to enter Japan. They will need to know when and where you will be traveling and for how long. Once you have visa squared away. Time to make a travel plan via tour package.
JTB USA and Japan Experience are just two of many tour package companies. Purchase a package tour that includes the locations you would like to travel. Tour Guide is optional. I believe it was alway optional but that point was lost in translation. Also old fogey Japanese officials assumed tourists prefer tour guides as they probably use them.
Final step would be the 72 hour PCR test which will no longer be necessary for triple vaccinated travelers.
Basically how I understand it. It’s hasn’t really changed much. And Tourists will still not go to Japan.
South Korea is open.
This great Mike, very informative, and gives a completely different aspect to all the regulations. Your work here is very much appreciated! Please keep posting updates, you definitely have my support!
Not yet...just not yet...earliest probably end of this year or next year. I am probably looking more at planning next year..
Halo. Mr. Matsuno terimakasih informasinya.
This is such a shame, I've never been soo disappointed in Japan ever before.
I have just about given up wanting to come to Japan, I have a Booking for November but looks like I will be cancelling for the fourth time in two and half years.
i feel you, I have also booked for the second time now in spring 2023 but I`m constantly nervous about Japan not opening again or only with packaged tours, only for a fixed number of tourists or close again by the time I`m going to travel..
I was planning on going during 2024 but if they’re going to act like this then I will just take a trip to South Korea or Thailand instead.
The next crucial question is, what is the standard operating procedure if tourists get mild / severe Covid? Will hotels allow covid patients to stay and recover? If the covid-positive tourist's hotel is fully booked, what happens next? Will other hotels accept covid patients? If no, then what do you expect covid-positive patients to do - take the shinkansen and travel? Get dumped out on the street because no hotel or any care facility will accept the patient (tourist)?
Love the country and consider moving there later in my life, the only thing that would keep me from doing that is the fact that japan is lowkey racist against foreigners moving there. Harder to find apartments and jobs etc
Better to just move to another Asian country. You’re better off in South East Asia like Singapore (though that place is pricy but then again Japan is is just as pricy as well). Truth is in Asia if you’re white you get special treatment
The week before the changes to the 72 hour PCR test changes, NHK news ran a report about this. They were at Narita talking to returning travelers from overseas. First part was about people who had returned but left family members overseas as they had tested positive before returning. The second part was about people having problems finding places to get the test or had a test and did not get the paperwork before the return flight. I'm not saying the government decision was connected to this report, but people returning being inconvenienced.
I hope many overseas traveler's see your last couple of videos, they both go along way to explain why Japan cannot rush into opening the borders fully just yet. My wifes hospital is really struggling now with staff shortages and in her job doing home visits she is see more Covid patience's. For her it is all part of the job, you care for people the best you can whatever there illness. However it is frustrating that they have still not been given the 4th shot to protect them a little more.
Still alot of smoke and mirrors
yeah maybe the 70th shot will protect them lol wake up
Hahahaha. I heard the 80th is the safest.
@@iamnaitsirk3091 oh I guess, in this case we`ll have to wait quite a bit longer until all those people feel safe! lol
They seem to be a dog chasing it’s own tail.
People can sense passive aggression. The world is a big place we can travel to other places. So
You have a great camera, it is very clear and pretty.
still waiting to go without mandatory tours. I can't imagine visiting Japan with tours. My favorite part about visiting Japan was going to places where tourist would seldom visit.
Thank you
I think November or December announcement of Visa Waiver is not out of question. It'll probably be in-effect the following month of the announcement. But I think it'll happen somewhat later. The resumption of fair number of international flights at end of October might be in anticipation (or the airlines already knew) of the dropping of the pre-departure PCR test in 9/7/2022. They may have already known the announcement will happen late August but with most tourists, it takes a few months before they are out on a plane because of need to get time off from work, plan the trip, and to try to get the best deal on the ticket. So knowing that, the airlines may have chosen late October to resume some flights. Another batch of expansion/resumption of flights happens end of March. Working that backwards, maybe the announcement will happen end of January with the actual change to ease travel happening in early February. This one might be the Visa Waiver at least from certain countries which people are waiting for.
Thanks Mike, what are your thoughts on the that say the PCR testing was removed for the benefit of the returning Japanese travellers vs anyone else?
Thanks for telling it like it is and informing us about the bed situation, adds a whole new dimension to the discussion. I've given up on going to Japan this year, going to revenge travel to South Korea. Perhaps Japan next year.
Thank you again!
its the visa waiver that needs changing
Hi thank you for the information. I'd like to ask about the status od multiple entry visa issued Dec 2019? Thanks and more power on your channel 🙏🙏
Personal opinion: the reason why tourist visa requirements are still in place might be to give Japanese travel agencies some work. When applying for a visa one is supposed to give information about the purchased tour, which makes me think that the visa procedure is actually meant to check if the customer bought a package tour from a local agency. If people would be suddenly allowed to travel in Japan freely, sure hotels and restaurants would benefit, but travel agency would get very few money. Maybe the visa procedure is just a way to allow everyone in the travel industry to benefit (and to keep numbers down since in pre-covid times there was a problem of over tourism that couldn't be faced with the hospital beds limitations stated in this video)
When I think about government actions, regardless of the country, I think in terms of incentives. After all, governments are essentially corporations (I'll leave out my perspective on whether that's good or bad).
So... the question then is what is incentivizing these actions? You made a good point about the government not wanting to take on big pharma but perhaps it's also lobbying? If they're willing to shut Japan down and lose incredible amounts of money in tourism then they have to have something even more powerful than all of that money incentivizing them.
I'm also not knowledgeable about Japan's banking system but if it's anything like the United States Federal Reserve... then I bet they have a hand in this too.
They should test people upon arrival. I wouldn't mind a short quarantine. The visa requirement is nothing new to me but seeing as things are still quite nebulous, I think I"ll only get to go back to Japan in 2023.
Hey I’ve been to that place in Osaka, a very Balinese looking hotel near Dotonbori, is it the same i wonder 😯
Why 3 doses Mike? Why are 3 doses taken a long time ago better than 2 doses recently? What's the evidence? Why discriminate?
Too bad we still need a visa and booked tour ☹....we just want to visit, not to be dictated to
Mike Matsuno has a super good english level. I love his videos
So I just giving up now and MAYBE cherry blossom season 2023, otherwise its a summer trip to Europe mid 2023. Cheers.
Sadly, it's only a minor changes. I'll wait till next year.
I have an 11hr layover at nrt on 01/05/23...should I just change my connecting flight to outside Japan like Taipei?
Thank you for the update! Japan needs to seriously start opening boarders or the economy will crash just like it did here in the UK,we are in a mess here in the UK and its only getting worse.Comeon Japan, lets get things moving the holiday makers will spend spend spend :)
@shoin yoshida And?
@shoin yoshida wow, i bet your fun at parties.The whole world is in a mess because of covid, not just the UK or Japan.. just most countries opened their boarders a lot quicker to try and save travel industries.I have been looking forward to traveling again, especially to somewhere like japan because i have never been.
@shoin yoshida Not sure why you are starting to get personal, i can choose to travel where i please.I have extra reasons why to travel to somewhere special like asia ,because i am a cancer survivor and thats a bloody good reason to celebrate and ofc coming out of this horrible covid situation.But you might be right,why would anyone in japan want me there.
@@sisterblissuk9253 Don't take any notice, there is plenty of people in Japan that would want you there.
@@boxerr1100s thanks friend, just a bit dissapointing when people start to take comments to a personal level.Everyone is of course entitled to their opinions.Everyone should be able to see the world has been crippled by covid..its time to move on and try to get back to normal (whatever that is lol)
Economy for Japan is in seriously dire straits. Sooner they open, the quicker the remedy.
Hi . Am new here . I wanted to know if I can travel to Japan with my family and stay an work .?
I had 4 vaccination shots. 2 sinovac(chinese) then 2 Pfizer shots. I'm worried the japanese government doesn't accept the chinese vaccines! Do you have any idea about the status of sinovac in japan?
Sorry, I do not. Please look at the MOFA website: www.mofa.go.jp/
I want to go to Hokkaido! Best regards from Kyushu.
What is the possibility of Japan open up for DiY/Free& Ez (that doesnt need to go thru any Travel agency) by this year-end? (Do note that winter has higher possibility of contracting cold and virus, will Jp govt risk it?)
did you see the NHK article that said that sometime in september, japan may allow independent tourism but only on the condition that you organise it with a travel agency?
In Australia kids don’t get 3 doses. It’s only 2..how does that work?
I’m a foreigner living in Japan and I love your informative videos regarding travel in and out the country
not paying high price for restricted travel, no choice and where to go, I rather go elsewhere
Hi..i want to ask if i need to submit pcr test fo i have a 7hrs layover in haneda...from manila to japan, then japan to chicago..thank you
That a nice setting place you taking report. May I know place name you take the video?
Bali Lax "The Garden," second floor of Marubiru Hotel in Osaka.
@@MikeMatsuno miss Japan, hope the government allow tourist come soon without North Korea protocol ☺
Acquiring visa will be no problem but please without guided tour 🙏
Prepare to be surprised again. Japanese airlines have announced additional flights to Japan from the US in mid September. It costs them money to ramp up, so I don't think they would do this based on speculation. They know that tourist numbers are not likely to increase much under the current system. I'd say they have information from the government that another change is coming soon.
I am sure many around the world want this to be true, But keep in mind this is a country who’s built a reputation on wasted opportunity.
Cool but we had that here in Australia too. The planes were full coming from Japan but empty going back until those from Japan took there return flights.
I hope you're right, but I feel they're ramping up services to cater for Japanese locals going overseas and coming back. The same with the removal of the PCR requirement because it inconvenienced the Japan locals wanting to travel.
The LDP couldn't care less about incoming gaijin or the local economy dependant on the tourist trade at the moment.
@@spun_01 Hey, I'm trying to be optimistic over here! 🙂It might be the case that more Japanese are traveling outside of Japan, but the middle of September is not when a bump in travel happens, generally speaking. Like in many other countries, that's when students return to school, and autumn is one of the high seasons for domestic vacationing within Japan.
@@scottb828 Haya. Yeah I'm right there with you Scott. I took a gamble and booked cheap flights for December a few months ago, and it's literally my last chance for my family to have one last Japanese holiday together like we used to (due to events happening next year) so more than anyone I really hope you're right.
To me it seems ike they want to see if they can find ways to improve their economy besides tourism. Maybe they didn't expect such losses from tourism, making the country look weak.
*This will be a huge failure by Japan and tourism numbers will not increase.* You still have to jump through the hoops of getting a visa from you local Japanese consulate. Then, you will have to pay a travel agency a lot of money for plane tickets and planning your own self-guided tours. *You are not allowed to deviate from the non-guided tour itinerary. This means basically zero exploring and zero bar hopping.*
yeah for me, not interesting
Covid:*Comes
Japan:"Finally a reason to end foreign faces here once and for all!"
japan is making a right mess with these covid law.they had 2 year to sort this out
I really think that travel between nations should be equal in both directions.
It’s time to stop free travel of Japanese to Western nations until this stupidity stops.
yeah,, I think so too
The "group tour without a guide" means. That you book through travel agencies. These travel agencies have lists of places that have been certified to allow foreign travelers to come to their businesses. Some places(many places) are not ready and dont want the flood of non japanese speaking people who dont follow/dont know the local rules and restrictions. They will scare away loyal and repeat customers. Behind the scenes businesses/sites will become "foreigner friendly-coming from outside japan", and "non foreigner friendly-people coming from outside japan".
New updates: Japan will allow nonguided independent tourists from sep 7 as well
Really? As an older American, I personally don't care if Japan remains closed forever. I am not visiting any country that handled the last three years, badly. But good luck
I’m losing hope now..Japan is my fav country to visit..
me too, I`m actually quite disheartened.
But those fully vaccinated with sinovac even with a pfizer booster, are still not exempt from covid tests.. I dont mind being tested, but please remove all travel agency conditions for group and single tourists and lift the suspension for all valid visas
3 doses. Why not 5. Or 10
Millions!
And they'll continue to wonder why their highly vazzed country has the highest numbers and still blame the varus, not the jean therapy they inject inside their blood lmao
well because after 3 doses people are still able to travel, not so after the 70th .... lol
😊👍
enter group tour doesn't make sense to go into japan
With every venue being so damn small and accomodating groups being such a huge hassle (been with a 20 people group from school, extremely difficult to accomodate all) entering japan with a tour group is absurd.
@@Karmillina plus I want to mingle with local women and be shown the true tokyo experience not some group tour and be restricted to doing anything.
When and how can Indian tourists enter Japan?
This is actually good. It weeds out the ignorant cheap riff raff tourists. Only dedicated travelers willing to do the footwork and have money will be arriving first.
Japan acting like North Korea.
The whole situation sounds like a mess... I think everybody would be more comfortable with how everything was set up before the pandemic struck... if Japan would go back to that then their economy could recover.
Perhaps Japan is trying to revert back to the isolationist society they once were?
Then you have the United States which has the opposite problem, they let too many people in, lol.
Tell Japan that there is no difference in transmission potential between jabbed vs. not jabbed. I thought Japanese were smart.
agree
Why does Japan pretend 60+ 1st world countries are not open as if covid never happened? They are open for business
Actually I think Japan reached peak omicron cases this week where we don't get over 240000 cases day. I hope next week will proof one weak of no rise leads to a decline of the numbers.
Numbers are manipulated. Look at every other country. Most aren't even wearing masks anymore. They just want to bar us foreigners from letting us in which is BS.
@@alaskanwhiskey When I enter a country I am a guest. And if the Japanese feel better when I wear a mask in public I will do it. I don't think the numbers are manipulated but I am sure the Japanese public is a white blanket for the Omicron variant because they got the variants befor under control, but therefore no natural immunity build up in public which now effects the numbers.
And when I don't follow the rules when the public are afraid of foreigners don't follow the rules such a behaviour does not belong to Japan at the moment. Because this wouldn't enforce prejudice in the public.
I visited Japan many time so I need freedom of travel in the country but I don't get it when I book a preplanned journey at a travel agency.
Especially when you flexible in your decisions like me to enter the shinkansen and book the bed for this night in the shinkansen 😂
My time is going please stop exciting me
Of couse he is juste exciting us thats all so stop exciting we and open the border thats all
First!
May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."
God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, & the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, & murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?
Better way would be to say you're allowed In but only if you're up to date on your vaccinations.
there is no evidence those vaccinations ever worked, quite the opposite
@@himawari4166 Theyre not meant to cure covid but to reduce the severity of symptoms. This has happened.
After seeing this i wish that Japan wins WW2, the world would be a better place today had Japan won the war.
Let's keep the tourists out until the pandemic is basically over, which it isn't in Japan. People who depend on foreign tourists need to change their line of work.
Covid is here to stay, you have to learn to live with it.
I am sure most are trying to change their line of work. Hopefully they transition quickly and efficiently
@@boxerr1100s I think most have moved on from it and don’t take it seriously anymore especially with the recent CDC announcement. Japan however is probably going to need to learn to live with it.
Sorry to say, it's a pandemic of the mind. You have to be strong and open minded, willing to to look at all solutions to the many varied problems the virus started, but the many multifaceted problems we have created by allowing 'experts' to decide what the best solution is for an entire society.
@@mikenakagawa2664 I think isolation is still a good approach. It did Japan very well in the past, and is doing so now too. Life isn't always about having a strong economy.
