With the end of the national state of emergency and the easing of travel restrictions, people are starting to return to Kagoshima, even to downtown.
Across the prefecture, hotels, sightseeing facilities and restaurants are reopening under new measures to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. These measures include wearing masks, using disinfectant alcohol spray at building entrances and practicing social distancing.
Tour operator GSE is among the local companies that have developed its operations to work under this “new normal.” Staff are carrying out disinfections on its buses and implementing social distancing and other steps, so customers can travel on the company’s bus tours with peace of mind.
