With coronavirus cases rising in Tokyo and Osaka, the government will exclude travel to and from Tokyo in its Go To Travel campaign slated to kick off next Wednesday, tourism minister Kazuyoshi Akaba said Thursday.
Speaking to reporters at the Prime Minister's Office, Akaba, minister of land, infrastructure, transport and tourism, said the government will launch the campaign as planned under those conditions.
"We will be excluding from the campaign those who are making Tokyo their tourist destination and those who reside in Tokyo traveling outside the prefecture," he said.
