Tourism Minister Tetsuo Saito and U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel signed a memorandum on Wednesday designating 2024 as a year to promoting tourism between the two countries. During this year the two parties will work together to boost tourism exchange using joint efforts from the public and private sectors in a bid to heighten the recovery of the demand for travel since the COVID-19 pandemic. Citing that 464 cities share sister relationships between the two countries, Saito called for taking advantage of the tourism year to resume and boost the exchanges at the local levels. After the two countries agreed to the plan to apply on Japanese tourists, which will help expedite immigration procedures in the U.S. held at the residence in Tokyo of the ambassador, it was also attended by Japanese Digital Transformation Minister Taro Kono and Justice Minister Ryuji Koizumi. Under the supervision of the Tourism Year initiative, both the countries will hold travel campaigns for the general public and it will host events for travel agencies from the two countries. The number of visitors from the U.S. to Japan has been steadily going up with the help of the fall of the value of the yen against the dollar. The monthly number amounted to some 210,000 in October, with an increase of 40% from the same month in 2019, prior to the pandemic. Meanwhile, the number of Japanese visitors to the United States in October came up at about 140,000, less than half of the pre-pandemic numbers.

Each year Americans celebrate Indigenous People’s Day as well as Columbus Day on October’s second Monday. The day intended to recognize and commemorate the legacy and beneficence of all the people who resided in the continent long before Columbus claimed (erroneously) of having “discovered” America. In 2021 President Joe Biden signed a proclamation that stated that the federal policies have “systematically sought to assimilate and displace Native people and eradicate Native cultures.” Monday is Indigenous People's Day. We in California haven't called it Columbus Day as far as I can remember. Christopher Columbus may have been a good explorer but he treated Indigenous people like shit Including killing them. pic.twitter.com/cQiqv2lZhL— Larry (@Lfunguscal) October 9, 2023 Since then, Indigenous People’s Day has been formally accepted and celebrated all around the country. Many states celebrate Indigenous People’s Day officially, while others commemorate it in the form of proclamations. North of 100 cities have decided to replace Columbus Day entirely with Indigenous People’s Day. Children in school and office goers will likely enjoy a long weekend. The question is bound to arise whether some of the essential institutions will remain open or closed. Mail For the holiday, the United States Postal Service will remain closed and will not be delivering mail and packages. UPS will be operating If you still need to get mail out or in, opt for FedEx and UPS, who will stay in business as usual. UPS will be operating fully, but there might be a modified service with FedEx Ground Economy and FedEx Express. Banks Monday is a bank holiday for the Federal Reserve. Markets, however, will remain open such as the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange, that will be in business. Major banks such as Wells Fargo, Bank of America, US Banks, and branches of Citibank will stay closed. TD Bank and Chase Bank will stay open for the Indigenous People’s Day holiday. https://twitter.com/ydrcom/status/1710980896235401302?s=20 Government Institutions Because it is a government holiday, government institutions will remain closed, such as teh likes of libraries, offices, DMV, and courts.

Restaurants make any place light up with energy and good vibes. They help upscale a neighborhood. Food joints highlight the native cuisine and community. The best restaurants around the country give their all in bringing a perfect lineup of hospitality, food, hygiene, and architecture. Here are the top 10 restaurants that you can visit for any occasion, ranging from solo dinners to family outings to romantic restaurant dates. Perilla LA “Excellent food, atmosphere and service. My friends and I enjoyed a wonderful Korean pancake, a chef Waygu tasting plate for each person, potato's, and the grilled egg plant (the star dish of the evening). We also enjoyed some cocktails that our waitor Arden suggested which paired perfectly with the meal.” Noodle In A Haystack “All dishes were fantastic! Best chawanmushi and ramen I've had by far! Atmosphere is also very nice, great music, intimate setting, courses came out promptly. The chefs and Pearl were so inviting, informative, and are very genuine people! My husband and I had a great time here and would definitely recommend!” - Monica M. Maty’s “This is a Peruvian Restaurant, very well located. With diverse plates oriented on oriental food with international touch. The attention its very good and the food... No comments. Great and delicious. Is a place to enjoy with friends or family.” - Joseodalisortiz Molotov Kitchen + Cocktails “Exceptional food, nice ambiance. Lovely service. We were so sad to see To The Wind close after so many years. (It was beyond terrific.) But Molotov is carrying the torch! Really one of the few truly good places to dine in Denver.” - C R. Prik Hom “ This tiny restaurant is away from the usual tourist trail in Patong. Located in a Teak House on Nanoi Rd it's a little hard to find - well worth the effort. The restaurant seats around 12 people. For a small place there's lots to choose from on the menu. The salty stir fried pork is delicious, as is the fried rice. Delicious food prepared to order. This isn't a fast food place, so be prepared to sit and relax with a drink while your meal is cooked - it's worth the wait.” - JocelynC885 Quarter Sheets “Ok yes this placed lives up to the hype. The wait may be long but it is so worth it. The Bianca was definitely a crowd favorite and the crust is so perfectly salty and crispy. Will be coming back soon!” - Archeta R. La Diabla Pozole Y Mezcal “Our friends and ourselves had a fantastic late lunch there today. From the Pozole to the ceviche to the guacamole, the tacos and the Margarites, everything was EXCELLENT! The service was fast and friendly and the prices were very reasonable.” - Dan07030 In Bocca Al Lupo “We were very delighted with all the experience. The food was so delicious and well presented that we ate four times here, in the evening, on a very nice atmosphere. The prices are affordable, we spent around 50 euros on two mains (lamb and ravioli), a memorable desert and two drinks (a glass of sangria and a martini). Thank you for the lovely gourmet experience!” - Mihaela A Yess “LA's most under rated restaurant. Chef Junya Yamasaki is a master of his craft, serving a one of a kind dining experience. I've been here three times, and every single time the menu has been different, crafted around seasonal ingredients and his catch of the week.” - Menooa Z. Ore Hill “Very unique restaurant... really different menu, but something for everyone. We wanted pizza...it was great! The location is great. Outside atmosphere is really nice. Great, friendly staff”- Kim ZRead Also: National Taco Day: How To Celebrate If You Are From Chicago Maldives And Bora Bora Among Top 10 Tourists Spots In The World
