Universal Studios Japan Opens Doors To All


Universal Studios Japan opens doors to all

One of Japan's favorite theme parks is lifting its entry restrictions to allow anyone from around the country to come and visit.

Universal Studios Japan in Osaka began reopening on limited basis in June. It had been closed since the end of February.

Initially, only people from the surrounding Kansai region in western Japan were allowed in. It now says anyone can enter, including people from Tokyo, where coronavirus cases have been rising.

One visitor said: "I think the safety measures are quite sufficient. It's good to know we can disinfect anywhere in the park."

Still, the park cautions visitors to think about their health. It asks everyone to carefully consider their decision to visit.

This comes as the central government plans to go ahead on Wednesday with its "Go To" discount travel campaign, which excludes Tokyo people.

Tourist spots around the country have been taking precautions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, but many hope for more government measures.
