The “GO TO Travel” promotion will last until January 11 of next year, and we call on the public to thoroughly prevent the epidemic and carefully consider the need to return home at the end of the year. It is recommended to stay home “to have a stable New Year.”The Japanese government implemented the “GO TO Travel” tourism support policy since July 22 of this year in order to rescue businesses related to travel, transportation, accommodation and souvenirs that have been greatly affected by the epidemic.
