definitely. hopefully this will drive down flight tickets. and not the other way around

anyway my airmiles are ready for whatever the cost

Still ok if china border still close

same here...

I think if other people also like us... then no way the flight prices gonna be low for a while...

pray for Air Asia X doing twice daily flights to Haneda to keep the cost low.

and there's always Osaka anyway

Kyoto should be damn nice now without china tourists

Without Chinese tourist. Alot shop cannot survive.

If you are rich enough, the border is already open. Just need to pay a tour guide to follow you everywhere you go (Malaysia is on the blue list).

Prices will skyrocket once borders fully open, and will likely stay sky high for months (if not a year or more) cos of super high revenge travel demand.

hopefully they open same time with Taiwan so the demand will be diluted

but even if they open in the near future, doubt they will scrape PCR testing.

their second covid dose is not even 99%. so tourists are very likely to get infected.

where can i read about japan restriction to malaysian to group tour only?

officially japan web seems nth about it..

i can slowly wait...there are countries that you can visit without the need to do PCR test anyway

Well my aim is visit Japan in autumn. So If that fails then go other place haha

some insider news said Japan going to amend their SOP on tomorrow, without PCR

Japan are losing control on Covid, Wave keep coming, each wave are bigger & bigger. Japan alot old citizen, that why until today Japan still didn't open for International tourism.
Japan each day around 40-50k new cases.

Hopefully they’ll also issue visas for individual tourists that don’t follow tour groups

haha, your are very lucky
40-50k so less? i thought japan one day new case 200k+


oh ya, good enough

Those are Hospital / Clinic / Pharmacy which accept those Covid Patient. Those 200k-300k just estimate because 90% Hospital in Japan no longer deal with any Covid Patients ( no matter which level of Covid sickness) which means including Ambulance & Emergency Medic Helicopter.

Those foreigner current at Japan, if kena covid, self isolate and pray to God are only option. If get worst, then just notice your nation embassy to tapau ur body back to your families.

Two great news

No longer "guided" tour however need to book through travel agent

https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20220824_01/

No need pre-departure test

https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia...ily-caps-remain

More Expensive abit because need pay travel agency to booked hotel & air ticket & Visa for you.
Preparing black & white travel document.

BTW, I not recommended going Japan this year as tourist due to Japan medic still in collapsing condition. If unlucky, you kena covid, no Hospital / Clinic / Pharmacy will help you. Make sure got Malaysia Embassy contact number in Japan. Seek help when needed.
