In particular, it becomes difficult to walk and move around outdoors, so it may be difficult to visit suburban tourist sites such as castle ruins and monasteries. In addition, the number of facilities and tours for tourists in urban areas has decreased, and sightseeing options are limited due to shortened opening hours and closures. Delays and cancellations of transportation are also likely to occur, making it difficult to follow travel plans.
