Japan's iconic Imperial Palace gardens in the capital Tokyo partially reopened to tourists on Tuesday after a two-month closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The authorities will allow only 100 visitors a day. They will have to wear masks and undergo temperature checks before entering, according to the Imperial Household Agency.
The reopening of the iconic gardens comes a day after the city entered the second day of easing restrictions, reports Efe news. Health emergency measures were lifted a week ago across the country.
Some other popular tourist spots of the country, such as Skytree tower of Tokyo, were reopened on Monday with a reduced number of visiting hours and use of elevators.
What a delight!
