Kojohama Onsen Trip

With strict COVID-19 precautions to adhere to, travel looks a little different right now. Here are some useful things to know before you pack your suitcase for Kojohama Onsen:

• Look into what rules and restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so check before you book.
• Requirements state you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, even at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA employee.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. Rather, place your pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for scanning.
• Empty everything from your pockets, like your phone, keys and wallet, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during screening.
• Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to handle and inspect your belongings.
