Fukuoka City Mayor, Soichiro Takashima, explained at a press conference on Aug. 18 that the new local rules will help the city avoid the disruption of the port operations at Hakata Port, while the national law system fails to block such visits by cruise ships. The city intends to lift the regulations once there is a coronavirus vaccine or effective treatment methods for the disease to become widely available. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20200818\/5010009067.html\">NHK<\/a> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asahi.com\/articles\/ASN8L6H1BN8LTIPE00F.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asahi<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rkb.jp\/news\/news\/54146\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RKB<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-134883\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cruise-ships.png?resize=1400%2C791&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"791\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cruise-ships.png?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cruise-ships.png?resize=300%2C170&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cruise-ships.png?resize=1024%2C579&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/cruise-ships.png?resize=768%2C434&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Disclaimer<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Fukuoka Now posts summaries of Kyushu area news for those who cannot read Japanese.
