Finally we can see some lights at the end of the tunnel after a long recess.
Major travel agencies in Japan recently announced to resume their outbound tour operations including Hawaii after 2-year break during the pandemic. This decision came after the Japanese government officially announced to lower travel alert level to the US from 3 to 2, which means “travel with caution”. Level 3 means “Do not travel”. Also since March 1, Japanese nationals who re-enter Japan do not need to do 14-day quarantine any more. These make them travel much easier now.
