Hey all,
​
I booked a 3 week trip to Japan back in February, and I have planned an itinerary to include Tokyo, Fukuoka, Hiroshima, and Kyoto/Osaka. I initially wanted to make a post asking about this itinerary but I have a more pressing question first. Does anyone know what the COVID situation is like? I have had three vaccinations and have an appointment for a fourth, but I have no idea what it’s like to get COVID and it seems to be incredibly prevalent in Japan right now.
​
Anyway, I also have my itinerary here. I have mandatory dates to be in Kyoto 10/26, Tokyo 10/28 and 10/31. Please let me know if this seems like it can be adjusted and/or if you have any recommendations on things in the area. I have some ideas and mostly I’m staying with friends so I know there will be plenty to do:
​
|Date(s)|Destination|
|:-|:-|
|10/18-10/21|Tokyo|
|10/21-10/23|Fukuoka|
|10/23-10/25|Hiroshima|
|10/25-10/27|Osaka/Kyoto|
|10/27-11/1|Tokyo|
|11/1-11/5|Osaka|
|11/5-11/10|Tokyo|
I have asthma and my main passion in life is cycling so I have been incredibly cautious this whole time, but I have also not really traveled (just by coincidence) for some time and have not been back to Japan in a decade since living there. So please don’t think I’m asking this in a naive way, I’m genuinely trying to abate some fears. Thank you.
