#12Just a fun little site I made while waiting and checking the status of corona in Japan. I hope to keep it updated since I am checking the news and looking at the numbers daily anyway! Thanks for checking it out!
This is great man. I’m traveling right now and looking for destinations. Do you have any in mind that are accepting tourists?
I'm in Thailand right now, they just suspended the Test&Go scheme, but they still have some "sandbox" destinations. Still accepting tourists.

#13I spent a week or two in Japan every month for 12 years. I have not been there for 2 years now and miss it terribly. It is such an amazingly unique place.

#16It's possible to enter Japan if you're Japanese or resident. The 3/6/10 days forced hotel quarantine is a PITA but the worst is that using public transportation is forbidden so one has either to pay huge amount of money to move with a private transportation (a friend paid 250 USD for a Osaka-Kyoto ride) or organize with a friend. I'm still in the organizing phase...

If you have a driver's license, doing a one-way rental from one of the offices a the airport and dropping it off near your destination may be your best bet if you don't have anyone to pick you up. The big ones like Hertz have offices for drop-off even in the sticks. Just make sure to reserve it ahead of time so you know they'll be available when you arrive.

#18ha! this is awesome, I've also been checking daily. I really wanted to go around April this year, but it's looking unlikely so far. Thanks!

Weird, I took a taxi from Osaka KIX to Kyoto all the time and the cost was like 30-40 USD. Maybe the price has gone up.

#20This is too funny. Over lockdown I made https://isjapanopen.com/ so a group of friends could easily check if our cheap Japan tickets were worth anything yet.
Glad to have another HNer validate the project idea!
