Sources are saying that Japan is planning on reopening the country to foreign visitors in October.
But there is a catch.
According to Travel Daily:
After imposing an entry ban to 159 countries, Japan is finally reopening in October, according to several reports citing government sources.
Although a total lockdown was never put in place in Japan, the country has one of the toughest travel restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic. Shutting down international travel coupled with the discipline of citizens enabled the country to keep the number of cases low.
After the historic naming of a new prime minister, sources claimed that the government is allowing about 1,000 foreigners per day to enter the country. However, these travellers must stay in Japan for three months or longer and must test negative from the virus.
