I'm thinking about TGS2020 also, but most probably will be going with frens ... wanna attend this year's edition, see see if got any nice 'freebies' from the major exhibitors, plus it's PS5 & XBox Series X year.
Must go on Saturday, else Sunday maybe finish if they didn't separate the allocations. Went to TGS2018, had a nice experience (except from the queuing), wish to go again. Capcom booth gave away Blu-Ray game demo disc, finished by late Saturday afternoon.

We didn't stay near Chiba prefecture that time, .... did look a bit at accomodations nearer to Makuhari Messe if going this year, but not many budget choices. So, maybe it's okay to stay nearer to Tokyo Centre (maybe Akihabara or those with direct railway line), since maybe nothing much to see in Chiba after TGS ended for the day. Worth going to both public days, since one day can't cover all the halls, especially if you're going to queue up and buy merchandises.

Oh, and look out for VIP passes, maybe starting sale in June/July ... around 3,000yen. Normal online purchased ticket to TGS is 1,000yen, if buy at gate is 1,200yen.

"A Chinese woman visiting the Japanese city of Ito -- on a peninsula south of Tokyo -- said that a server at a restaurant shouted “Chinese! Out!” at her, according to a recording shared on a Weibo account.

The recording, which included a subsequent phone call to the unnamed eatery, was shared by a reporter from Hong Kong-based Phoenix TV.

A woman who answered the phone at the restaurant said it was refusing customers from China and Southeast Asia because the owner was worried about the coronavirus, according to the recording. “If our owner contracts the virus and dies, whose responsibility is it then?” she said."

If you're Chinese, don't speak Chinese lor
