The state of emergency in Kansai area was just lifted last Sunday, because the number of people who were infected with COVID-19 has been decreasing since the February. However, the prefectural governments request restaurants to close early, so we still have to pay attention to the virus.
Cherry blossom season is coming soon, but we will enjoy it without beer, Japanese Sake and drinking parties, because these are high risk to infect with COVID-19. On the other hand, I'm happy that the COVID-19 vaccine has begun in Japan and I hope we get back normal in the next six months.
