Moms are sharing Corona Virus Tokyo & Yokohama Closures (COVID-19 Tokyo Closures). As of March 21st, 2020 the government is optimistic that the Virus bullet was dodged in Japan and has announced the reopening of schools and attractions in April. Attractions are gradually opening in Japan, but check the list below before heading out. 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 Tokyo 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 – our favorites this time of year are Koishikawa Park (near Tokyo Dome), Hamarikyu Park (Minao-ku), Showa Park (Tachikawa) and Kiyosumi Gardens. *Please remember to wash your hands.
