Please pay attention to the spread of Coronavirus

In December 2019, there was an outbreak of a novel coronavirus (hence referred to here as COVID-19) in the Chinese city of Wuhan. The virus has since spread globally and there is a rapidly growing number of COVID-19 cases, even in Japan.

In accordance with the Japanese Government’s declaration of a state of emergency, Kanagawa Prefecture is asking people to please refrain from unnecessary outings.

For the moment, please refrain from visiting Kanagawa for sightseeing. Please read through an urgent message announced by Governor Kuroiwa of Kanagawa Prefecture on April 22, 2020.

For more information on how Kanagawa Prefecture is handling the COVID-19 situation, please check our official website.
