I’ve read in most parts of Asia it started after SARS but for Japan it goes back to the post war boom to avoid air pollution.

Aix posted:japanese laundromats are awesome cause they have combined washing machines & dryers that also weigh your stuff and dose the detergent for you. all you gotta do is put your clothes in, pay the ¥400 or so and 80min later you have clean, dry laundry What? Where?

Less than 50% of the population has had their booster shots so maybe they want to get that number up.

Jerry Manderbilt posted:I only have 100000 JPY on hand so dunno about getting a shinkansen ticket to Aomori or Kanazawa or even Nagoya where my JR Central friends are Kanazawa. I lived there for 3 years so can tell you what to do if you need. Nagoya is the dullest major city in Japan. Aomori has apples I guess but I liked other parts of Tohoku more. It all depends on how you have your trip planned out.

Jerry Manderbilt posted:yeah i'd appreciate it for kanazawa if i drop a few hundred on a shinkansen ticket there; off the top of my head there's the park, right? Yeah, kenrokuen. Nagamachi, 21st century museum, ninja temple, DT Suzuki Museum, Higashi-chaya-gai, omicho market. You can get a JR pass and stop at other places on the way to Kanazawa too, like Karuizawa etc.

Ailumao posted:if you like apples it's the city of apples. i stayed there one night in a ryokan with hot springs while going up to sapporo. it was fine for the day-ish we spent there. there's also a big paper mache float museum (i forget the japanese names for that thing) which was neat. Nebuta. Maybe they’ll have it this year after being canceled last few.

mobby_6kl posted:So how difficult is it to make your own "tour group". I was supposed to meet up with a friend in Japan a few years before covid and it didn't work out due to scheduling and I'm still mad about it. If you’re asking this now by the time you’re ready normal tourists will be let in.

I will say this. Do not take a night bus ever unless money is that much of a factor and if you flew here it is most certainly not.

Ham Equity posted:Wait, I was gonna fly into Narita and stay in Shinjuku when I visit (been on hold since COVID, but hoping for Spring of 2023)... Is this like a JFK/Newark situation, and Narita should be avoided? I don’t know what that means but Narita is not in Tokyo.

Gabriel Grub posted:There have been some large public events, and a small but growing number of people are foregoing masks because of the heat. But I mainly think it's just that the current variant is so transmissable. I have seen zero change in mask wearing in this heat outside.

some kinda jackal posted:Well, speaking of weird long walks, touristchat, I have it in my head that I’m going to “walk the Yamanote” this time around. Mathematically it’s an eight hour walk by the numbers if I go my typical leisurely pace but I guess I should plan on breaking it up over two or three days so I can enjoy eating and looking at fun stuff along the way Why would you wanna do that? It’s not picturesque.

harperdc posted:It’s only ‘being cautious’ if you believe that foreign tourists can’t follow the rules that locals (should) know and follow, because almost everything is thrown wide open for residents already - just wear a mask, and at sporting events/concerts/theater, don’t shout. If everything was similar to China now and there were still hard lockdowns, that’s one thing, but it’s not the case here. So why keep foreign tourists out? They definitely will not follow the rules.
