There is no connecting flight to Fukuoka after I get in and also on the return so it would require two nights in Tokyo on either end of the trip. The state department still has a travel warning for NRT area so I am wondering what to do. I am one of two key speakers for the meeting and they are advertising this as part of the meeting so they would try to get someone else if I can not go. It sounds like things are working find in NRT area but as people point out the travel insurance and other things might be invalid if the state dept has a travel warning for NRT/Tokyo.
