- Are any of you cancelling trips to Japan due to the outbreak? Should we? Or is the situation locally overhyped?
- Should we expect any decrease in accomodation prices due to the decrease of tourism? (Ryokans, and others)
I'm due for a trip to the Kansai region for 3 weeks late April, so obviously alot can happen until then but I haven't book any accomodation yet & I know I'm running late.
Thanks all for your sound advice
I have a trip in Japan for two weeks in April. I am immunodeficient so i am in the high risk population. I am monitoring the situation and once I have an hour I will make a list of cancellation deadlines for my hotels and look at my plane tickets restrictions. My deadline for taking a decision will be the 2nd April, seven days before my scheduled departure. Until then I wait and see while keeping a close eyes on the situation as well as possible restrictions put in place in my departure country (direct flights to Tokyo so no transit).
