Moms are sharing Corona Virus Kyoto, Osaka & Nagoya OPEN & Closures (COVID-19 Kyoto, Osaka & Nagoya OPEN & Closures). Are you waking up in Kyoto, Osaka or Nagoya with kids and no school for March 2020? Our friends are! I know we are also supposed to stay home, but eventually, our kids climbing the walls will be too much. Parks are good for visiting, but parents are wary of allowing play on the equipment. A lot of time for bonding at home over art projects, reading, and yes, “homeschooling”. Please add any additional and new Osaka, Kyoto & Nagoya open / closures below. Before you head out anywhere check the attractions website to be 100% sure. We will update this list frequently over the next few weeks. Most public parks and gardens are still open but guided tours and onsite museums may be cancelled and closed.
