Opinion on domestic travels after lifting COVID-19 restrictions in Japan 2020

According to a survey conducted in April 2020 in Japan, the majority of respondents would go on domestic travels after some time, if restrictions related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak were relaxed or lifted. The survey revealed that respondents were more willing to go on a travel to less crowded destinations in the vicinity of their residing regions.
Following the declaration of the state of emergency in several prefectures at the beginning of the month, the emergency order was extended to a nationwide level on April 16. With the government requesting citizens to practice self-restraint and remain at home, domestic travels were restricted and entry bans were issued for inbound travelers.
