On September 22, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced at a press conference during his visit to the U.S. that the “National Travel Discount” and “Event Discount” would begin on October 11, and that the cap on the number of visitors to Japan that had been implemented as a waterfront measure would be removed.
At the press conference, Prime Minister Kishida stated, “From October 11, we will lift the cap on the number of people entering Japan, lift the ban on individual travel, and lift the ban on visa-free travel as part of our border control measures. In addition, we will launch a nationwide travel discount and an event discount on the same day.
He added, “We hope that many people will take advantage of this program to support the lodging, travel, and entertainment industries, which have suffered from the Corona disaster.
