Anyone planning to travel to Japan to gorge themselves with sushi or to buy any kaiju toys they could get their hands on will have to wait a while.
Why?
Japan is extending their suspension of visas into the country.
Kyodo News reported:
TOKYO - Japan will extend its suspension of visas held by foreign nationals to the end of May, a government source said Tuesday, having deemed it too early to lift travel restrictions meant to prevent the coronavirus from spreading.
The Foreign Ministry announced on April 1 that it was suspending visas and short-stay visa waivers for people from more than 100 countries through at least the end of April.
Foreign travelers have almost completely stopped coming to Japan amid the travel restrictions, with government data for March showing a 93 percent drop from a year earlier.
