I expect this guided tour stuff to be over pretty quickly. Of course no one tested positive; they don't require tests on/after arrival if you are coming from a "blue" country.
There was an article a couple of weeks ago that said 1 of 4 people in one of the first tour groups tested positive, they were travel agents per the article.

Per Loyalty Lobby:

Excerpt from Kyodo News

A test tour for inbound travelers in Japan has been canceled after one of four Thais taking part tested positive for the coronavirus, Japan’s tourism agency has said.

The traveler was in the southwestern prefecture of Oita when his or her infection was confirmed Monday. The three other participants were deemed close contacts but have all tested negative. They are currently isolating at a hotel, the agency said. The route of infection is unknown.

The tourists arrived at Fukuoka airport via Tokyo’s Haneda airport on Friday. Their itinerary included Fukuoka’s Tenjin entertainment district as well as an onsen hot spring resort in Oita. The travel company responsible for the group is providing support.
