How I Left And Came Back To Japan // Traveling During Covid-19

This time I'm showing you how I left and came back to Japan. Traveling during Covid-19.
*I'm aware that there are non-Japanese people who cannot come back to Japan because of Covid right now. I was just lucky to be able to travel to see someone I really care, but I hope all the Japanese citizens can come home regardless of their nationalities.

This made me cry. I had to leave Japan about a week ago due to a death in the family, and now I can't come back. Sitting here with my punctured citizen card really missing all my friends and my apartment in Japan. I really hope I can come back soon.

[@sand0decker]

Amazing how they can just do a test in Japan and have the results so quickly. Meanwhile in Canada, it takes days to get a result back from the hospital (which you have to go through a whole process through the city to book an appointment)

[@AsagisLifeNoBSJapan]

It doesn't sound smooth. But I guess your test is more reliable? Cuz saliva test is not as reliable that's why we have to do 2 weeks quarantine.

[@gregh7457]

@@AsagisLifeNoBSJapan We now have what they call "rapid tests" and its a pin prick to the finger and they test your blood. It takes 15 minutes for results. I live in hawaii and on oct 15 they opened up to mainland usa tourists again and they will be using this test. passengers will be required to get it 72 hours or less before flying and there will be NO 14 day quarrantine. I've seen accuracy number of 75%-80% detection rate on the rapid antigen test but i'm sure others will dispute that. Its kind of shocking to me that we are not seeing japan tourists first. Perhaps people there aren't yet interested in travelling or its a govt to govt delay. The PCR (cotton swab to nose and throat) is said to have a %30 false negative rate so its just a little bit less accurate than the rapid test

Glad you traveled and came back safely.

[@AsagisLifeNoBSJapan]

Thanks Sharoon. I was quite lucky that I could make that travel 🙏

[@S.Clause]

Excellent, this is exactly the information I was looking for.

[@AsagisLifeNoBSJapan]

Glad it helps!

Sounds like a rigorous, but justified process. Glad you could make it home safely!

ありがとう! I will go back to Japan for work purposes next week hopefully. This was very helpful!

Glad that you came back in one piece! 😄😄 the process looks stressful though 😢

[@vsm1456]

So interesting how they organize the whole process. I'm surprised you couldn't quarantine at home and stayed in a hotel instead... The picture of lemon is such a cute and unexpected detail they did, haha :D

Not gonna lie, that trip looked chill. I usually find airports so stressful normally. And i think it's good Japan is strict during these times. Applause 👏

[@massvt3821]

Good advice to hold off on any travel right now, especially with winter coming ( and a possible surge in COVID cases). We're all hoping for better times in the spring, and a slow return to normal, although there are no guarantees..

[@AsagisLifeNoBSJapan]

Yeah. Let's hope so!

良かったです！ 到着してからはすごーくスムーズで、あ〜日本帰ってきた〜って感じでした（笑）

[@T0KEEYO]

Ooo this is great information for anyone who plans to travel. I actually didn’t know Haneda was an option for international flights at the moment. 😄

[@AsagisLifeNoBSJapan]

This was actually the first time I flew from Haneda to a western country. They normally do internal and Asian countries right? Maybe it's because of Covid.

[@DanThomasUK]

@@AsagisLifeNoBSJapan I went from London to Haneda in February

[@user-df2xb7df1r]

Very nice video

[@broccolifan6971]

While watching your video, I heard about the alarming rise of covid cases in Europe, London, and Spain. France will have curfew in place after 9pm by this weekend. Stay safe back in Japan, Asagi.

[@QuantumCat76]

Travelling is weird, now, I just finished two weeks Quarantine in Angola (travelling from Amsterdam) to go off-shore

[@gregp9350]

'Oh weehoo Sombodys watching you, Whacha gonna doo, Oheeohh.'Security that is. Just being goofy with an old songs lyrics. I know it was weird going through what you had to. But it is nice that everything worked out well Asagi.

[@brobichaud]

Thanks for the interesting insight into your travels Asagi. Really interesting given most of us aren’t daring enough to travel. So I’m curious how you felt about travel to the US given how rampant covid is here and how little we are doing about it, especially as compared to Japan. Were you worried at all coming here and traveling within the US with Derek?

[@AsagisLifeNoBSJapan]

Hmm. In some aspects US is more strict but in other aspects they are less cautious about Covid. Can't compare easily.

[@theovermaster9817]

I had visited Japan at the start of this year right before all the Covid-19 stuff starting getting more noticeable around the world. When I had returned home to New Zealand it was only like 1-2 months before NZ went into lockdown, so if my timing of my trip was slightly different it could have affected me coming home to NZ.

[@MarcoSimple1Videos]

interesting video

[@shaggyclitso472]

Very beautiful

[@outcast8223]

Yeah I live in Virginia and people here are more relaxed towards C. 19. The school I go to and the area where I live is more spread out. Still the people here are crazy. Some still think C. 19 is fake.

[@catmenot7143]

Did you have to do a 14-day quarentine? I going in May 2021 and only have a week of vacation time!

[@claudiaasi3905]

Did you have have to make a covid test before arriving to Japan? If so what kind of test did you do? (I know there are many different covid tests) thanks!

[@rosariotakamatsu1508]

What hotel did you stay n how much. After 14days what is the procedure. Pls explain die going to Japan within a week. Cam you go out to buy your food or much better I get fullboraf meals. Hope you could guide me what to do upon arrival in Japan I'm from Houston texas Onegai shimasu

Is there a discount on hotel use, since it's two weeks compulsory?

[@AsagisLifeNoBSJapan]

Yes Many hotels around the airport have plans for those who need quarantine.

[@Dave6616]

Always so Nice and cute. Pls do a joji review

[@Hotterk88]

Japan sparing NO precautions!

[@warriorpoet8119]

I wish I knew Japanese as well as I do Korean culture, Japanese seems really difficult to read and write compared to Korean :( I have only been to Tokyo a few times.

[@TropicalPianist]

Hey Asagi

[@Big-Wonka]

If they make tourists quarantine for 2 weeks then no one will be able to come. Hopefully they streamline it before my trip in the end of March. I saw they might not open tourism until April though.

[@Big-Wonka]

@Redice1202 Yeah, I read the same thing. I won't be able to quarantine for 2 weeks before my trip, but that's ideal. But I'll definitely do everything possible to not be around anyone lol. I don't really care if I have to check in on an app while I'm there. It's a slight inconvenience for another great trip to Japan. I bought my ticket back in April or May because it was so damn cheap. I never thought it would still be a problem by the time my trip came. Worst case scenario is I reach out to the Airbnb hosts and see if I can push the dates back. American airlines isn't charging anyone to cancel and reschedule, but the downside is they don't give you an equal trade. It's just a credit and you pay the difference when the time comes. So my cheap ticket might end up being normal price. Either way, I'll do whatever I have to do.

[@Sakja]

I'm surprised Japan let you back in. lol. Well, I guess they had to take you. "Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in." --Robert Frostert Frost

[@Amateur_Ambiance]

I live in Tulsa, and I see planes flying in out of the airport everyday. Makes me nervous considering the people here are so damned ignorant.

[@NissanR33Ztune]

Lets point this out .... this process only applies to Japanese Citizens , i doubt there was any one on the flight that was not a Japanese Citizen... correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure , even if you are a resident here in Japan there is a lot more to this process and you need approval before you even book your flight...

[@DanThomasUK]

Depends where you’re from. If you’re from the U.K. they don’t even let you in...

[@DanThomasUK]

@Redice1202 let’s hope so, I’d quite like to go there again. It was interesting in March

[@UntangledKnots]

You were supposed to put your saliva on the customs officer's head in America, you forgot? If Japan locks down again I'm gonna sneak out to the ocean and stay there while I work online. Hope we can travel easily soon. BTW you'd fit in really well at hive.blog (and 3speak.online which is the interconnected video streaming site). We are still relatively small but we have a much more energized and interactive community. I run a group called Cross Culture for creators like you. There's also a Japan community.

[@stephanrogers8947]

Saliva is MUCH better than that stupid Q-tip up the nose they were doing before ......... I wish we were doing the saliva test over here in the US.
