For the first time in two-plus years, tourists are coming back to Japan. The few allowed in under a trial program have been subject to tight hygiene measures and close monitoring, giving a glimpse of what visiting will be like after next month’s limited border reopening.
"We’re just happy to be back,” said Christopher Li after arriving in Tokyo from Hawaii.
Like the rest of his small tour group, Li works in the travel industry and is also here to see how Japan will manage its reopening.
