The Japan Tourism Agency (JTA) has announced that it will expand the scope of the area covered by the "Prefectural Citizen Discount Support" (regional tourism business support) from April 1 (Friday) to April 28 (Thursday).
Specifically, it will be expanded from the current (until March 31) maximum scope of prefectural discount support and adjacent prefectures to the range of regional blocks determined by the national government. The regional blocks are "Hokkaido / Tohoku", "Kanto", "Hokuriku Shinetsu / Chubu", "", "Chugoku / Shikoku", and "Kyushu / Okinawa".
The conditions for use are proof of vaccination or a negative test. If you are in the same prefecture, you can use it even if you have two doses of the vaccine at the discretion of the governor (or a negative certificate as well). Children under the age of 12 accompanied by a guardian do not need to be vaccinated or tested.
The implementation of prefectural discount support requires the consent of the prefectural government. In addition, Level 3 (Level at which response should be strengthened) It will be suspended in areas related to the declaration of a state of emergency, the issuance of priority measures to prevent the spread of the disease, etc.

When I asked if Goto would start around the end of GW, he said, "It depends on Prime Minister Kishida's decision." He also said that he had a strict control system in place against unauthorized use of Goto.
