Due to the evolution of the global health crisis, the measures taken by each country have undergone significant changes since 2020, and are likely to change again. 

 

For cross-border and international travel, we invite you to follow the official recommendations of the governments of the countries where you live and where you wish to go.

 

It is recommended to take out travel insurance for your trip to Japan. Medical expenses can be high if you become sick or injured and need to visit a hospital while in Japan. It is important to check the policies including Covid-19 coverage.

 

In case of emergency, the JNTO has created a dedicated page on the health & safety for travelers in Japan: find the medical institutions suited to your needs and information about insurance companies available to visitors: visit here!

 

We advise seniors and people with chronic illnesses, who may be at a greater risk of catching Covid-19, to consult a health professional before traveling.

    fermeture des frontières We have been to Japan twice both in time for Cherry Blossom, the blossom around The Moats and the Imperial Palace were amazing it takes your breath away. We were also fortunate to see the blossom in Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima to name but a few. Such a wonderful time of the year to visit Japan. We cannot wait to return.

    Le Japon n'est pas le pays le plus affecté I am a great lover of bonsai. I went a year ago with my wife after planning for a long time. And also save some money because I wanted to buy bonsai pots and tools. Of course, I dreamed of knowing those wonderful corners that are the bonsai nurseries.

    The love and taste for bonsai and gardening are everywhere, in park and gardens of an extra-beautiful beauty, everything is clean and so careful. I have fallen in love even more with Japanese culture.
    Since then I also have a blog and I publish some stories and themes about bonsai for beginners
