Japan is still closed off to foreign tourism due to the coronavirus, but that won't be a hinderance to people who want to see places in and around Tokyo.
Online tours will be offered by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
According to The Japan Times:
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government will start offering online tours featuring sightseeing spots across the Japanese capital from this month, as a new way of traveling amid the coronavirus crisis.
Specialties from Tokyo will be sent to tour participants in advance to help them get a feel for their virtual destinations from home.
A total of 19 tours using the Zoom videoconference system will be organized between October and February next year. Each tour will feature different tourist spots, including those on Tokyo islands such as the island of Miyake in the Pacific island chain of Izu.
The tour itself is free but participants will be charged about ¥1,000 for the specialties.
