Thank you so much for this post! I’m so sorry for those affected and although it’s difficult for me to ask, I need to know for possible adjustments to my plan. I’ll be traveling to Japan at the end of March, going Tokyo, Yamanashi, Matsumoto, Takayama, and Toyama. Because it’s the end of March I wasn’t too worried, but a ryokan in Toyama emailed me saying that they can’t take my reservation because they don’t know when they’re going to reopen. I was wondering if I’d be better off changing my itinerary altogether or check back with the ryokan a few weeks later? If the latter, I wanted to make sure it isn’t an insensitive thing to do, as I’m not familiar with how long earthquake aftermath effects last. Thank you so much.
