May 24 (NHK) - Some souvenir shops and restaurants have reopened in the popular tourist district of Arashiyama in Kyoto, following the lifting of restrictions on business activity in the prefecture.
Only a few local people and tourists wearing face masks were seen walking in the shopping area near the famous Togetsu-kyo Bridge on the Katsura River.
Restaurant boats also reopened for the first time in about 40 days, but only chartered services are available for now.
Passengers must sit about 2 meters away from the boatman.
