New Emperor effect on tourism
Hello!
I will be in Tokyo/Osaka when the Emperor abdicates favoring his son in the next month.
Does anybody know how the abdication will affect museums/ commerce/shops/etc.?
Does anybody know if transport will be affected, if there will be restricted zones, massive ceremonies, etc., etc.?
Thank you!!!

It coincides with a big vacation period..have you looked into that, even aside from the abdication? (I timed by arrival for the day after the holiday period). Wish I could help more..maybe ask this on a more-trafficked travel forum???

Hello
Hello. I’m Posting from Japan and I’m Japanese.
I’m answering your question.
My answer is YES. Yes and yes!
We will have 10days-off, from 4/30 to 5/6.
It means every tourist spots and transportation will be so crowded. Especially, Amusement parks like TDL.
Also accommodation and airplane tickets are very expensive because many locals go for travel during this 10days...
if you are planning to visit Japan, you should consider your destination carefully.

Hello again
Never mind,
I think commerce will be affected also...
but it’s possible to prepare for it!
would you tell me what exact place or things are you worried about? Then I can gather information for you.
Thank you!

Hello, sartoric!
Are you talking about the tower in Shinjuku??
( I googled “Sumitomo tower” and it seems there are same name buildings...)
Sumitomo tower in Shinjuku has some restaurants. And they open during GW.
If you tell me the name of restaurant, I can give you accurate information.
If you want to know about other Sumitomo tower, please let me know. Then I will go get information.
Thank tou!

Hi miinajp, yes, the tower in Shinjuku. I don’t have a specific restaurant in mind, just somewhere with a view over the city. I’m guessing that the Tokyo metropolitan building may not be open due to the holidays, and was looking for an alternative that also had a viewing level open to the public. If we have to eat...oh well, I’m sure it will be yummy.
Thanks for your info, I’m so excited to be heading to Japan soon

Miinajp,
When I refer to commerce I mean shops, malls, such as the ones on Omotesando par example. Restaurants is also a concern, but I do not really think that ALL will be closed!!! (hope so.....)
Tks!!!
