More on travel by twenty-somethings. 

A couple I met on the train – “If we can’t go to Korea, maybe we will go to the Philippines."

Our hotel in Nara indicated that the front desk had body tape if you might need to tape over some tattoos before using the bath. Because of the association of tatoos with the Yakuza (mob), tatoos are not allowed at the baths or swimming pools

We met a young printmaker from the UK – she cannot go any museums on this trip since coronavirus has closed the museums.  So she spent a big chunk of time in the Temple garden sketching.

We see Japanese twenty-somethings holding hands on the train.

And we see Japanese twenty-somethings out to a shrine or temple or garden, each in a formal kimono.  Looks like a date.  We also see groups of twenty-something women in kimono out sightseeing.
