Japan will ask foreign tourists to wear face masks and follow other precautions against COVID-19 when they visit the country, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida says.
Japan will resume accepting foreign tourists from June 10, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida says, as the country continues to ease its COVID-19 border controls.
Japan is considering raising the daily cap on overseas arrivals to 10,000 from the current 7,000 starting in April, further easing its COVID-19 border controls, government sources say.
The head of Japan s largest business lobby suggests that the country s border controls aimed at preventing the spread of the coronavirus are not based on epidemiological grounds, calling on the government to further ease them by simplifying immigration procedures.
