The Opening of Japan will NOT be soon. Even though Prime Minister Kishida and the LDP Party had a substantial victory in the July 10, 2022 election, Mike explains why he thinks that there is still a long wait until they officially open up Japan to independent tourists and visitors. The tragic, sudden death of former Prime Minister Abe will also have a big impact, as well as PM Kishida is dealing with an array of problems and challenges, from high oil and food commodity prices, the weak yen, inflation, and the sudden spike of coronavirus new cases. The death and loss of the most influential Japanese politician of the last 20 years, who was a good friend and staunch supporter of PM Kishida, will definitely put much more pressure on him to figure things out without PM Abe. PM Kishida has really lost his LDP political “wingman.” This video talks about what is presently happening in Japan and what are the indicators for the future opening or not opening of Japan.
