Tokyo's state of emergency was lifted this week. As the city begins to re-open, I'm starting a thread on what the new normal looks like.
1/ Tokyo Tower is re-opening their observation deck this week. To avoid enclosed spaces, unless necessary visitors will be asked to climb the 600 stairs to access it.

When amusement parks like Tokyo Disney and Universal Studios re-open, visitors will be asked to not scream on roller coasters: https://www.nagashima-onsen.co.jp/spaland/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2020/05/COVID-19_guideline.pdf
3/ Movie theaters are operating at around 30% capacity with 2 seats closed off for every 1. At least there won't be any fighting for the armrest.
