Japan is back

A news article from Times Travel accompanied by a photo of several Japanese women in pink kyotos walking along a stone path beneath an uncountable number of wooden, red, shrine arches, each with kanji carved in black on the sides. The headline is a quote, "Japan is back. We are back. We have been waiting such a long time for this." Beneath is an excerpt that says, "It's been a long two years since we've been able to soak up the buzz of Tokyo and attend tea ceremonies in Kyoto. Here's the latest on traveling to Japan."

Two graphs of Japan's COVID-19 trends between February 2020 and now. The first shows that they are just now starting to fall from what has been their highest spike of newly reported cases, at over 200,000 per day. The second shows that they are still at their highest peak of newly reported deaths, at roughly 250 per day.
