A man wearing a protective face mask walks through the Senbon Torii (Thousands Torii Gates), a tunnel of torii gates, at Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine in Kyoto, Japan, 13 May 2020, amid the ongoing coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. The streets of Japan's ancient capital Kyoto and its world-famous tourist spots are largely deserted as the number of foreign visitors declined more than 93 per cent from previous year, the local media reported in late April. Japan's tourism industry has been hit hard by the COVID-19 crisis risking millions of jobs. The Japanese government extended the nationwide state of emergency until 31 May, in a bid to curb the spread of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 which causes the COVID-19 disease.
