18.01.2022 Most people have heard about railpasses as an enjoyable way of saving travel costs. In Japan the Japan Rail Pass is not always a good option to save money - it depends on your itinerary. There are many other options - including from private rail company Kintetsu. And, you can buy these passes in Japan (unlike the Japan Rail Pass which can only bought before you arrive in Japan).

02.01.2022 1. Could the ‘Japan model’ be working? As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage throughout Japan, a growing number of hospitals facing a dearth of protective equipment for medical staff have been pushed to the brink of dysfunction. Experts say the nation is tipping toward a full-fledged collapse of its medical system, stressing the need for measures such as boosting testing capacity, building field hospitals and making more active use of disaster-response professionals, writes Tomohiro Osaki. https://japantimes.us2.list-manage.com/track/click
