Saitama – A few months ago, I embarked on a three-week pilgrimage throughout the country to visit several often-overlooked historical cities and towns of note. I took this journey, masked, just as the state of emergency was lifted in late March. I did it alone. And it was transformative.
To date, the country has administered over 60 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine and is currently inoculating over 1 million residents every day.
