As we all know, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on our lives in many different ways. We have to socially distance in public, we have to be more aware of our health habits and who we come into contact with, we wear masks in public even when we aren’t sick, and we’ve had to limit our travel. Though travel is slowing starting to return, online experiences are still a great way to cure your case of wanderlust! Or at least lessen the symptoms until you can go on that dream trip to Japan.
It hasn’t been the easiest year in the world, and having to cancel travel plans has put a damper on the year for a lot of us who love seeing cultures outside of our own. On top of this, it has been difficult to see our extended families like we usually do. But your day-to-day life doesn’t have to be a socially isolated affair that you tackle by yourself.
The lack of travel and other measures that we have needed to take for the good of the public health have had some negative economic consequences on several industries, especially the food and travel industries. However, in the face of this adversity these industries have been forced to adapt and innovate, and we here at Arigato Japan have worked long and hard to bring a variety of online tour experiences to anyone who is itching to travel and experience Japanese culture as soon as possible!
These online experiences are a fantastic way to “travel” from the safety of your home without exposing yourself or your loved ones to any danger. These tours are a perfect opportunity for you to fill your time over with something fun, and you can even join up with family members and have them take the tour with you if you want. If you love travelling during your time off but can’t due to the pandemic restrictions, please allow online experiences to help scratch that itch in the time being.
Even if these travel restrictions aren’t your main concern and you weren’t planning on travelling anyway, or you want to travel once the restrictions are over but aren’t sure where to go or what to do, these online experiences can be a great way to get your feet wet and learn more about what you’re interested in!
We at Arigato Japan offer a variety of online experiences for any occasion, and we frequently have special limited-time tours for seasonal events! These special tours have included experiences for Sakura (or Cherry Blossom) season in the spring, Christmas and New Year’s for the end of the year, and many others. You should make sure to always check up on our “All Tours” and “Online Experiences” pages to stay up to date on any limited-time tours we may have, as well as any new tours we add that you may be interested in!
