Then apparently a lot happened overnight (US time)... woman being diagnosed posthumously, new cases due to community transmission, young infected person developing symptoms.
Now we're having second thoughts. It's a lot of money to eat if we cancel, I'm sure the risk is still extremely low, and it'd be major bummer to cancel this vacation. But I don't like where things seem to be trending.
Would suggest you bring a supply of face masks for the trip. The locals are quite good at covering up (for the most part) if they have a cough or sneeze, but you can also do your part to protect yourself / minimize transmission.
Face masks are pretty much all out across Japan.
