    But the new norm did not dampen the enthusiasm of Disney lovers like university student Momoka Mitsui.

    Tokyo, which has seen the highest number of coronavirus cases in Japan, allowed amusement parks to reopen in mid-June - later than those in some other regions - after the government lifted the national state of emergency in late May.
